And what happens to the USDA inspector if they screw up? Maybe they get fired. I’d say there is even less accountability there.
If people die from something that was inspected by a private company, that company lose the public trust and would be doomed, and criminal charges would not be inappropriate. Suing the federal government, however, is not easy.

Just because there is a government agency doesn’t mean that people were clamoring for government oversight. It means some government offical made a power-grab. Big difference.
