> lack of oversight

From the article:

> It turns out that the F.A.A., with congressional approval, has “over the years delegated increasing authority to Boeing to take on more of the work of certifying the safety of its own airplanes,”

This ran through Congress. Not that any of them or the bureaucrats at the FAA will face penalty.

Still lack of oversight - as in Congress approved it but did not follow up to see if it's working or sensible.
