Either way, I've found more than half of my time inspecting is actually protecting teams from other inspectors with flawed interpretations of the rules. Too many inspectors (rarely LRIs luckily) have a seeming "Us versus them" mentality, rather than focusing on how to work with teams to get them the best experience they can.

When I've inspected at QCR, the LRIs basically said to not trust shop compressors. In 2013, we did in fact catch a team hiding a compressor to fill their (12?) tanks. At one point, our LRI told us inspectors to go around the pits looking for shop compressors and have the teams remove them.
