I’ve never heard of someone being denied a flight release. There is nothing on a flight plan except plane info and where your headed. I rarely even file a flight plan. I just tell the tower I’m headed whatever direction and go. Then when I’m out of there airspace I can head any direction I want.

He was talking about private jets from companies like NetJets and other Part 135 companies in which yes, everybody is screened even when they fly Part 91. They must pass the same TSA no fly list that every body else flying commercial airlines does. (guns must be checked, no criminal history, etc..). And yes, every one of those flights must get a flight release from their company prior to take off. If they don't, company will get fined big time from FAA and pilot could lose their certificate. Has nothing to do with an IFR clearance. However, if you're rich enough to own your own jet and fly it strictly Part 91, then yes, basically no rules UNLESS you cross the ADIZ.. Then all pax are screened when you submit your eApis.
