I'm not suggesting "licensure." Just a requirement to display the currently mandated certificate. I can imagine several service issues that might arise for the vendors but if I threw in every scenario and counter-scenario I could think of, I would still be typing my orignal post.

In the long run, this may not be a viable strategy or it might be better to expand it to other service providers like commercial ramps and launch services. I see this could become a "camel's nose" sort of thing but it might cut down on the folks who dont even know the Rules-Of-the-Road.

You can't outlaw stupid but you can try to limit ignorance.
