The FAA is a lot of things - inefficient and bloated, to name a few. But corrupt is not one of those items. I've dealt with the local FSDO office for 25 years for a variety of issues. My dealings have all been on the up and up and had no specter of impropriety. Have I been frustrated at the pace and red tape for some of my encounters? Sure. But never did I feel they were somehow acting in any interests other than to uphold their reputation as overseeing the safest aviation system in the world.
