Take nuclear reactors, they are run by private enterprise. can they be trusted to maintain safety standards? sometimes yes sometimes no. There must be as part of the standard operation completely independent inspections on all facilities and procedures.
Until you not only have a open book but also an opposition party, Union, safety commission, whatever is appropriate you cant expect anyone but your friends to be placated by assurances.

Actually in one of the current colliders a few years ago, I think it was FEMILAB's, they have already made an micro miniature black hole.
It evaporated into Hawking radiation in a few dozen billionths of a second.
So what everyone is afraid of, an artificially made black hole, has already been done and been proven to be safe.
What you have here is a failure of the press and to check facts about a situation, thus causing undo fear. Anyone that believers the press, especially in the states, is deluding themselves. They are one of the more notorious organizations for leaving out facts they don't like, or are too lazy to research for facts, that we have.
If I had been at one of those hearings as a spectator, I would of laughed then pointed out rather rudely that it had already been done, so what's your boggle?
