I think it's great. So many ppl slowly erode away their minhagim to be 'accepted'. (eg, the Sephardic rabbanim and the yichud room kerfuffle last year)

Agreed. Though I remember the yichud room story being 3 years ago.

Yes- he is based out of Passaic.  I wonder the same myself.  I have asked relatives in Passaic who tell me that it is good on some but not others....I haven't eaten anything under the KOA hechsher because I am not 100% sure.

Short video of how the rabbanut does kashrus fraud checks.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/165780#.UUF6_NanAww

Funny how the guy carries a gun, and it would be nice to see the entire process along with the punishments doled out, if any.

A friend of mine got a $500+ order from a restauranant in Manhatten, http://www.bensdeli.net delivered to him by a non Jewish business colleague.
Any information on this Supervising rabbi of Kashrus, "Rabbi Steinberg"? (Bear in mind, this place probably makes a smashing chulent as it's open Shabbos)

If the place is open on shabbos then I am not sure what your question is?

How do any of the Kashrus agencies monitor factories on shabbos?
