Actually, don't you also need to have a VHF radio on board and be in
communication with ATC to operate a lawnchair at that altitude?
WRT to transponders, wouln't you need some sort of metallic shielding
between yourself and the antenna just for safety?  Also, aren't their rules
covering the dropping of objects from aircraft?  I seem to remember that he
lost a pair of glasses at least and maybe his air rifle.
