Sounds like they are regrouping.

"Girl's death fuels debate on use of tonsillectomies for sleep apnea"
More than half million kids get treated for sleep apnea every year, according to the following article, and presumably, most do not have a BMI over 40. But some die from the operation - which is a common treatment for the disorder.

So, we trade poor sleep for permanent sleep?

The FAA must be getting worried, and with good reason.Remember one thing. They don't care about your concerns. It wasn't until their disregard for your concerns put themselves in a vulnerable position when the threat of legislative action appeared. Had that not happened, business as usual.
They care about their funding. Adding more regulatory red tape increases their demands for funding.
Example:
1990 Cincinnati FSDO had 12 inspectors, at the height of GA activity.
2013 Now they have over 60, low GA activity.
Why do they now need so many, with less activity? What's different? More red tape, that's what's different.

Does anyone know how many airplanes were taken off the registry when their N-numbers weren't "renewed"? I would bet the total number of flying aircraft in the US just dropped a significant number and now the FAA has to justify their bloated staff.
