Most people do not understand the difference.
What the difference is between needed business regulation and over regulation.
Needed regulation is the FAA saying that all commercial airliners must be carpeted with fire resistant carpeting that meets certain pollution emissions standards when smoldering to limit choking smoke in the event of a fire.
Over regulation is the FAA under the Obama administration saying that replacement carpet must meet the same standards AND be made of all natural materials obtained from only sustainable sources.
Seeing that no such carpet existed, that new regulation effectively stopped the replacement of worn carpets on commercial planes until such a product was created.
