'First kill all the lawyers'. I didn't say that, it was written by another Will.
Too much knee jerk here. Mind your ACL's, and listen. The system is not working. Screw the lawyers, this is about power, and its misapplication. The Federal Government, here, the FAA, NTSB, etc. doesn't do stuff as in days of yore. Ask a Boeing tin monkey or a line mx for SWA. The power is having an affair on our dime. Safety? You are in la la land. The NTSB is an advisory Board, the FAA has rulemaking and punitive power.
Did no one else see the attempts by AF and ABI to massage and 'guide' the press, the people and the investigators to entertain positions that were outlandish?
The Naivete of otherwise intelligent, sage folks is showing. Building fences and hiring armed guards to repel 'onlookers' from testing and 'evidence' exposure smacks of 80's Eastern Europe. Get a clue.
I would propose an 'ombudsman' like panel, to keep the suits and the badges out of eachother's pants.
The NTSB is close, but since the FAA doesn't listen, except to 'craft suitable compliance measures in league with the rascals', we need the Court or some authority to guard the Industry from 'relaxed' pitot tube R&R.
