Default Longer parachute repack cycle petition (USA)

It must take a complete anal person to cite someone for wearing an out
of pack chute. Did it actually ever happened? Did anyone ever got into
trouble for wearing or using an out of pack or even expired chute? On
the other end, who knows how many didn't wear chutes as a result of the
hassle and cost of frequent repacks, and actually needed it...
Thank god Eric Larsen wear chute, repacked or not. Similar thing
happened around this time last year at the same area, but unfortunately
the pilot did not wear a chute.
If the FAA regulators were actually using their heads, they would
increase the repack cycle to 1 year and make it mandatory to always
wear a parachute. They should make trasponders mandatory as well, but
this is another thread...
