Is there a name for the situation? Where the one bad apple causes all the good apples to be punished?

TSA rules seem to be capricious and spurious, (in my opinion) — that needs to stop. It takes too long to find an available DPE to schedule a check ride. Allow “Gold Seal” flight instructors to issue PPL‘s. Allow “Gold Seal” CFII to issue Instrument ratings. No age 67. Double the time the FAA...
