If the "crap" bolted to the Klassic saves just one crew and a freight bay full of pax from dying in a MANPAD initiated fireball, the return is more than justified. Having had that crap make scary noises in my helmet earpieces and then had the drivers take appropriate action, I personally think it very worthwhile.
