I think you are wrong. This elephant, or as somebody said nicely better some posts ago: mammoth for its age of knowledge, is being targeted by task forces now. There is an agreement between FAA and EASA to ramp checks on N-reg by the usual EASA personnel. My bet we widely will see checks on N-reg this year, already and unrelated to this accident.
