That's closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. This particular problem probably has a very specific cause, has never happened before (else we'd have heard of it) and is unlikely to happen again. Taken together with other happenings, such as mis-drilled holes and loose nuts on rudder linkages, what is very obviously missing is a competent quality system that will prevent and/or catch errors of this sort when (not if - we're all human) they occur. This is the direction I hope that the FAA will take and mandate very firmly.
