Between regulation and over regulation.
A great example comes out of one FAA policy rolled out under the Obama administration.
Old regulation: All carpet on planes must be fire resistant.
New regulation. All carpet on planes must be fire resistant and made of 100 natural fibers obtained from sustainable sources.
No such carpet existed. It had to be developed from scratch.
