[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2313947, member: 711"] Beat me to it! In addition to the very good LEO inputs, suppose you are in a convenience store when someone initiates a robbery and sees the badge. Guess who gets his a$$ shot off first if the robber is a little amped up. This is stupid on so many levels, and pathetic on more. The instructor needs severe correction or to break his ties with whatever badge seller he is shilling for. FAA Flight Standards Inspectors now carry badges to enable them to gain immediate access to accident sites. That is their only purpose. Prior to these being issued, some enterprising inspectors had generic badges converted to "FAA Inspector" badges. Took half a set of FAA earrings (yes, they really make these, and sell 'em at the Aeronautical Center bookstore) plus the inspector's ID (110-A) number. Management promptly said not to use these for obvious reasons. Friend of mine had one and got pulled over for speeding in Los Angeles. Thinking he'd get a little professional courtesy, he flashed his "badge." The CHP officer was a private pilot who was fighting a big enforcement action, and he threw the book at the unlucky inspector. Instant karma. From "UHF:" "We don't need no steenkin' badgers!"
