> Regulation is ... a blunt, and dangerous, weapon.

It is hardly blunt. It's enormously detailed in many areas, created by experts. We can find negative outcomes for any enterprise as m massive as regulatoin; in itself it doesn't mean much.

There are concerns and issues to consider, but this mass, very blunt :) critique and rejection of it prevents us from addressing them.

Certainly we are better off with the FAA regulating Boeing and the airlines than not regulating them!
