So you feel that the Bush administration has fostered a
Fear-Your-Government ambiance among this nation's (USA) citizenry?
Well, the administration has cultivated an ambiance where "fear your
government" is a reasonable reaction. Sadly, much of the US citizenry does not
realize this, and (mercifully) this is not the forum to debate the larger
issue.
However, the "fear the FAA" ambiance came before, and is not unique to the FAA.
It is a (potential) problem with any organization whose bureaucracy and
policies & procedures insulate it from close oversight. This includes public
schools, health insurance, and Microsoft, to name a few.
