I may not be a registered "PE" engineer, and I don't know where to hit the boiler with a hammer to make it work again as in that joke, but I am very well respected as an engineer in my field, broadcasting. I have a grandfathered to general, formerly a FCC 1st phone license, and I am a C.E.T., registered in Nebraska as #118. If I should become the Chief Engineer at some tv station in MO, I will not stand idly by and be prosecuted for claiming to be what I have been doing for a living since 1964.
