The states are all over the map, no pun intended, in terms of strictness. California is at one extreme and some midwestern states seem to be at the other - I remember when living in Madison, Wisconsin there was no emissions or safety inspection of any sort.
I think the federal rules are beneficial insofar as they allow manufacturers to adhere to one standard, which keeps the manufacturers' cost down. However I don't think this is the federal government's business.
