1926 The Air Commerce Act was passed at the request of the emerging air industry. Its functions included testing and licensing of pilots, certification of aircraft and investigation of accidents. They wanted to reassure the public that flying was safe. This was the precursor of and eventually became the FAA.

2018 The FAA regulates breast feeding.

Okay.

I agree, but people demand this crap. I wish we could go back and strip all these agencies back down, never happen though, they just grow.
