Well one day they will simply install automatic phasers to zap FOD from getting into the intake. They work very well because we have all seen in Star Trek, things go all silhouettey and then disappear completely, possibly just giving an instantaneous view of the skeleton before vanishing. Quick, clean and safe, they are undoubtedly the best solution. But until they are invented, we are going to constantly get this daft chestnut forever resurrected by people who don't know about trying Search.

In case people think Star Trek thingummies are daft, tell me in what way my iPhone differs from a Tricorder? (apart from not giving you a complete medical with a 'tweeting' sound). We laughed at them then, but they are here.
