The lead Senators, Maria Cantwell and Ted Cruz, probably didn’t realize what had happened, as they did seek to do something useful for consumers, and the FAA reauthorization bill is sprawling and it’s easy to lose track of the details of every provision.

Sure, a completely honest mistake. No way our caring politicians would have let that language be inserted into the law.

I would love if these documents were version controlled so we could see exactly whose office inserted the language. Which makes so much sense, I doubt it will ever happen.
