What is absurd about PA's inspection and emissions requirements?

The safety inspection prevents people from driving deathtrap shitboxes on PA's roads.

The emissions inspection prevents people from driving vehicles that unnecessarily pollute the air we all breathe.

What's absurd about those things?

100%! I've seen the death traps folks drive in Ohio and would rather deal with PA inspections process (with a reputable inspection station).

The fact that it varies county to county is pretty absurd to me. Does the pollution in Franklin County not also pollute Cumberland County? Does Perry County have a forcefield so that its emission testless cars don't pollute Dauphin County?

If that's not absurd then I don't know what is
