If the organization doing the safety checks doesn&#x27;t have government force on its side, it only has an incentive to do safety checks that its customers will pay for. It can always try to think up new checks and try to convince customers that they&#x27;re worth paying for; private businesses do that now. But it&#x27;s still the customer&#x27;s choice. If the checks are mandated by the government, then the customer doesn&#x27;t have a choice, and the organization making the checks now doesn&#x27;t have to convince customers; it only has to convince the government, which experience suggests is much easier.
