It would be fast and save the cost of inspectors having to incur the expense of an on-site inspection.

Joe, if you like the idea, feel free to include it in your input?

Dave, the Regulators just don't trust this industry not to fudge the records if they get any advance notice of inspection. They lay out emphatically in the regs that no notice will ever be provided at Sec. 75.5: "(b) Advance notice of inspections. Advance notice of record inspections shall not be given." If they went so far out of their way to carve that in stone, I don't think that there is much of a chance that they will be willing to make a phone call to some producer and ask whether he just might send over a copy of the ID on the the model who looks twelve. They would be afraid that every shred of digital evidence that she ever existed would wind up forty feet under Lake Michigan, Santa Monica Bay, Miami or Tampa harbors, or in the waters off New Jersey [take your choice] within an hour after the call.
