Hold on a sec...at FedEx we fly many flights in and out of un-controlled airports on a daily basis. No controllers to keep ya out of trouble there. At some point you have to be responsible for your own jet.
Now having said that, I think you CAN hang the FAA/Govt. for not funding and implementing safety related technology in a timely manner. Just flew out of Singapore and our taxi clearance from ground was "follow the green lights". Had a red stop bar at the proper hold point to boot! Sounds like something that could save lives in the US huh.
