Its very stupid legislation that does nothing but waste money. Should every plane have in each seat a record of its C and D check, and where it was performed, and where the parts from that came from? Again, this is completely unnecessary legislation, a waste of money and time from a Republican that should know better. He is just pandering to a bunch of gomers to try to look like some kind of patriotic dude.
As for Boyd, read up on the guy, he knows the biz, he is read by everyone in the biz, and unlike dimwit publicity seekers like Mary Schaivo, this guy knows of what he speaks.
Yes, it's a stupid law. And yes, there is grandstanding. But the undercurrent of the response simply rubs me the wrong way.
