Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

Minnesota. No more tests. State sold off all of those nice, new, brick,
mult-bay, vehicle emissions buildings to boot.

Thank goodness. What a boondoggle!

Wisconsin created a whole new level of bureaucratic incompetence when
they went down that rabbit hole. They built those buildings all over
Southeast Wisconsin, and paid unGodly amounts of money to some of the
dumbest people on the planet to stick their faces (and a long wand) up
every car's tail pipe.

The whole operation was fraught with danger (more than one "technician"
was injured doing the high RPM tests on what amounted to an automotive
treadmill), corruption (bribes WERE accepted) and inefficiency. Waits
of up to an hour were not uncommon -- with your engine running, of
course.

Those polution test sites were a perfect example of the kind of
nonsense the do-gooders can come up with while the silent majority
isn't paying attention. I'm glad to hear that common sense has reared
its ugly head...again.

Taxachusetts did it "better." The inspection stations are required to buy the
equipment, not the state.

In case you have been in a cave the last 30 or so years pollution regulations are in place all across the country.

That's nice...When was the last time you had _your_ car smog checked?

I notice many states stopped requireing smog checks and just charge the fee on license renewal.


Many states do not have it to begin with...

Gosh - why SoCal? Most my trips there have featured smog so thick that
it wasn't VFR legal (yet a bright sunny day).

It's a hell of a lot more clear than it was 35 years, ago, in my observation.

Exactly...the enforced smog control and yearly emissions checks required have cleaned up the air substantially. I
am amazed at how bad the air gets here in Michigan! Climb up to 6000' or so and you can see the crud everywhere.
Amazing that smog controls are not enforced all over the country...

Ours go through the process every couple of years but I don't know why you ask.

You say the regs are in place all over the country, and in fact they are not, so I suppose you are the one that has been
in the cave...

So you believe automobiles built today have the same anti-pollution
equipment as did automobiles build in the 1960s or 70s? Yes, automobile
anti-pollution laws are in place all across the country. Just because
inspections are not required in every municipality does not mean automobiles
are not required to meet emission standards. Try to buy a new automobile
without any emission controls and see how far you get.

OBTW, air pollution can travel thousands of miles. The pollution you see in
Michigan might have originated many states away.

Can you see any parallels through the eight layers of smog ...I mean
