Isn't that analogous to taking away your automobile drivers license
if you get a ticket for doing something while being a pedestrian?

BTW--I'm not questioning Rob Griffiths estimate of the situation,
     I'm questioning this particular practice of the FAA.  Also,
     although I know stuff about planes, I am speaking/thinking
     as a non-pilot.
