You are so right,of course it's about money!! This is why a CDL costs more to renew even after the initial test. This is what the hazmat fingerprint test nonsense is about; revenue. Those pilots on 9/11 certainly had prints on file, and if terrorists want that hazmat truck, poor Joe Trucker will end up with the same fate whether he paid 100 bucks for fingerprints or not! Follow the money trail. It's an employment tax!
