TSA WATCH I: FAA'S FOOT-DRAGGING
This issue's TSA Watch feature includes not one, but two items of
interest for readers. The first item is to update readers about
something on which AVweb's Business AVflash has reported befo
the FAA's failure to comply with the law. As AVweb reported on
March 17, the FAA still hasn't submitted a required report to
Congress "containing an explanation of the need for" the
Washington ADIZ.

Who violates the FAA Administrator?

Anybody who's tired of flying.

Implicit in your response is the notion that the FAA Administrator
possesses the power to effectively flout the nation's laws and
practice arbitrary retribution without fear of accountability. Is
that what you meant?

I was making a joke

But yes, that was the gist of it. According to the first post, the
Administrator failed to comply with the law (justifying the DCTFR) and is
getting away with it. There have been numerous cases discussed here where the
FAA has pulled a Hoover. I'd say that some forms of criticising the FAA are
best done with caution, especially in the present environment.

So you feel that the Bush administration has fostered a
Fear-Your-Government ambiance among this nation's (USA) citizenry?

Much as I'd like to pin this on Bush, "Fear the FAA" predates him. It
probably predates Clinton, but I couldn't afford to fly before Clinton so
I don't know.

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.
