Drug testing of pilots is regulatory capture now?

Is there anything left that an HN commenter won't describe as regulatory capture or rent-seeking?

Is there any part of our leviathan government left which does not indulge special interest groups and rent seekers, or mire citizens in mystifying, stultifying bureaucracy?

I've personally interacted somewhat deeply with the SSA/HHS (helping with medical care for a grandfather), my state's Department of Education (trying to start up an independent school), administrative local law enforcement (obtaining a seller's license for liquor while in college for a job), and several city/town/village councils/boards (planning/permitting local events).

For all my interfaces with the state, my answer to that question is still, "no, I've yet to find a single part of government which doesn't do some or all those things." Hell, even the student government at my university did those things.

Maybe HN commenters describe so many things as regulatory capture or rent-seeking because that's what our world is now.
