This had nothing to do w/ 'security' or even public safety, as aviation experts will tell you. I had more to do w/ politics, and the money hungry Dems all bent out of shape that the Bush administration hasn't been sticking it to the airlines via fines for every petty little rule and regulation.

Generally when an accusation as that has been debunked, as I did to your charge, the one making the accusation offers up an admission of being wrong ( at the very least ) and an apology.

And in other agribusiness news.....
Government asks court to block wider testing for mad cow. Quote:

WASHINGTON - The {effing} Bush administration is urging a federal appeals court to keep meatpackers from testing all their cattle for mad cow disease. Government lawyers told a three-judge panel Friday they should reverse a lower court ruling that allowed {not "required"...allowed} Kansas-based Creekstone Farms Premium Beef to conduct more comprehensive testing to satisfy overseas customers.
The Agriculture Department currently tests less than 1 percent of slaughtered cows for the disease. It argues that more widespread testing does not guarantee food safety and could result in a false positive that scares consumers.
Creekstone claims the Agriculture Department has no authority to prevent companies from using the test to reassure customers.
This is such bullshit (so to speak). Positive results are always be confirmed (or not) by additional testing. And this is typical of the Bush adminsitration leading us... along with cows... to the slaughter.

How exactly can the government prevent a private company from doing MORE testing than is required by statute?

Quote:Part of the problem might be self-reporting. But goodwill effort on both sides can resolves those issues, so I don't think that's the real reason.
USDA can’t argue that the test kits are useful for diagnosing and managing BSE when used by USDA but are “worthless” when used by a private company. We believe that the rapid test kits are useful for both parties and that there is no justification for denying a company the right to use a USDA-validated rapid test kit to screen cattle for BSE. We urge USDA to allow companies to buy and use USDA-validated rapid test kit for detecting BSE, but require the companies both to report any non-negative results to USDA and to supply USDA with brain samples from these non-negative cases for confirmation of BSE by the USDA at the National Veterinary Services Lab (in Ames, IO). USDA should also allow meat from an animal tested using a rapid test kit to be labeled as having been tested for BSE, and require any non-negative to be withheld from the food supply
