Of course, it is also true that a regulator is rarely punished
for under-regulating. Quite frankly, the regulator is between a rock and a
hard place -- everyone wants the regulator to DO MORE! wait, or was that DO
LESS!? Between licensees, "interested persons" and legislators, how do
they win?

John,
Unfortunately, I
can't disagree you. I guess that the life of a regulator is pretty easy. I
know of no instance where a regulator has been jailed, fired, or reprimanded
in any way for overregulating. As you suggest, Congress has essentially given
them a license to do so. The sad part of all this is that all of the money and
other limited resources squandered in controlling non-problems, might
actually do some good if it were directed toward areas of actual
risk that have no political constituancy. "The squeaking hinge gets the
oil." Jerry
