Safe or FOD free?
There can be FOD present and still be safe. It's not the desired state, but the mere presence of FOD does not inherently make them unsafe.
The problem with the reporting on this is the implication that any FOD could bring down the plan.
And the complete absence of any info on what sort of FOD was found or what quantity.
