pilot's photo id's
At first I thought it was a bad idea too like Phil Boyer.
But It really wouldn't be that hard for the FAA to issue pilot's licenses with photos on them, buy a new machine or at least just a laser printer right. I don't see it as a big expense. The DMV's been doing it for years, they just charge a small fee.
The amount of money AOPA is spending on fighting this legislation would probably pay for the switch to photo pilot's licenses. How's that for a bit of Irony.
I certainly don't agree with letting the states start regulating aviation though, it already has a governing body, that would just create confusion. Pilot's would have to start keeping up to date on the regs for flying in all the states then, now that IS ridiculous.
