alt Hacker NewsOIGs are structured to be independent specifically to avoid the "investigating yourself" problem. There also doesn't seem to be much evidence the person who shared information about the test was acting at the direction of the FAA, rather than as a rogue employee. That would certainly be a key factor in the lawsuit, so it will be telling whether it comes out.

There’s no other reasonable explanation for the biographical questionnaire and its utterly arbitrary scoring criteria.

You ever worked in an organization that had an OIG and met the folks that work there? They wear the same uniform you do, and their behavior betrays that fact.
