Unsurprising - Remember that crane that toppled over in New York City last week, killing a couple people? From the NY Times "City's top crane inspector is arrested": "The city's chief crane inspector was arrested Friday and charged with taking bribes to allow cranes under his review to pass inspection and for taking money from a crane company that sought to ensure that its employees would pass the required licensing exam, the authorities said."

Bravo to this patriotic inspector. Regulations and oversight strangle the market forces.
