This is somewhat reminiscent of the rebranding of DC-10 to MD-11 after AAL191.

It's the outboard engine which must be replaced, so it affects the roll balance much more than the inboard engine would and probably cannot be properly compensated with fuel and trim.

Don't forget that two Presidents prior to Obama used these planes for eight years each, and George H. W. Bush also had them for a couple years. The VC-25s probably have far fewer cycles and hours than most 747s, including those delivered to passenger airlines in the 2000s.

Sorry, but the jobs just aren't there. My wife just got her first full-time job in two years, and the previous one didn't even pay her $11/hr even though it was at corporate HQ. Her last job only gave salaried employees full-time hours; even the supervisors who were paid hourly were part-time. Oh, she also has a degree in computer programming and networking, but has never been able to find a job in that field because she needs 3 years of experience for an entry level job.

Someone is reading far too much into this. The sections cited in the article (49 USC 5123 and 5124) are directed at businesses which transport hazardous materials as a part of their services. This falls under Subtitle III "General and Intermodal Programs" Chapter 51 "Transportation of Hazardous Materials." The FAA might be able to levy a small fine, but they would likely only do so in the event the flight was disrupted as a result of the phone catching fire.
