If they invalidate your Master's license when it still might have several years before the expiration date then they are robbing you of your investment and depriving you of your livelihood. It is clearly fraud and theft of services. While the license you paid hundreds of dollars and many more hours than that to obtain has an expiration date of, say 2015, all of a sudden some bureaucrat comes along and declares it's useless without a TWIC card? That's reneging on a contract, pure and simple. Have you ever heard of ex post facto? Wilbur Hubbard They should at least grandfather it. That's what happens with building codes. You really can't expect people to update their house built in 1965 to 2011 standards. It's just government run amok IMHO! |
