<sigh> There's a whole lot of vehicles on those roadways down below that do a lot more damage to society than I could ever do with my little light weight aerobatic craft. The FAA has determined that I am safe to fly within the parameters of my airman certificate and earned ratings and I am expected to comply or lose my privileges (or worse). I conduct my own pre-flight inspections, I determine my own safety and conduct my own flight to ensure the safety of others.
There is no constitutional right to drive a vehicle of any sort. Require a background check to drive cattle. Save us all from the rampant BS*.
