It's a waste of time and resources that could be better spent doing something else.

Maybe we need a department that tests the testing centers, and then another department that tests that department, and so on and so forth. I think I've just solved the employment problem; everyone can work for the government!
Im not suggesting a red tape nightmare, just an annual or bi annual sniff test to ensure people are not purposely modifying their vehicles to pollute more.
