Boeing and the FAA shouldn't need to be told, at this point, that being seen to protect "trade secrets" that might be related to the investigation can only have an extremely negative impact on the world's opinions about B-produced aircraft and the corporate culture that produces them. Perhaps it's not clear to some high-level decision-makers how serious this situation has become.
