So what is it about landing with 29 instead of 30 that turns the circumstances into a crime and an emergency?

The people who run out of fuel under the current rules are going to run out of fuel under the new rules. There are plenty of ways to ping the pilot now (setting aside all of the real hurt they're gonna get when the insurance doesn't respond ...)

What practical outcome does the proposed new rule achieve that isn't already achieved by the current rule?

And I note the irony of 20+ years of work on outcomes-based rules that produces a prescriptive rule to replace an outcomes-based rule.
