Interpreting a law that says airport operators have to be notified as allowing airport operators who have been notified to shut down modeling doesn't strike me as an "effort to interpret the letter of the law exactly."
As for the FAA "catch[ing] heck from Congress" when it misinterprets the law, could you give us some examples? Or even one example? I won't hold my breath.
