Sure, but worrying about a provision where the Governor can take your kidney if
aliens land on a Leap Tuesday makes for much better press.
I'm a touch ambivalent about the certification thing. On the one hand it can
be a pain (and one more damn course to take), on the other hand I can
understand how external non-expert regulatory regimes could desire reasonable
assurance that the folks doing the work are qualified.
As it stands it is a [sic]"the prime contractor needs the cert" thing, so
everyone under that person/organization would not require it. It would depend
to some extent how onerous getting the cert is to tell how it might shape
contracting relationships. In any case, it wouldn't hurt for everyone to get
the cert if at all possible.
