Emptying The Belfries
I haven't had time to read the NPRM from the FAA on the new space passenger regulations, or formulate any inputs, but Jeff Foust has done a little research and come up with some amusing examples of people who have.
I will say that I think that it's a little premature for the FAA to be worried about smuggling on commercial space transports, disarming the universe, or especially people on a spacewalk throwing things at the planet.
As for the concern about requiring that space transport pilots be licensed aviation pilots, I doubt if the FAA considers that to be a sufficient condition, but it's certainly not unreasonable to make it a necessary one.
Meanwhile, over at Space Law Probe, Jesse Londin has more serious thoughts on it.

How did he find that stuff? It's pretty impressive.

Oh I see, these people submitted comments to the FAA's docket for that.
