Strikemaster - have you read the report of the Spanair crash in Madrid? What would you say to a last minute check of flaps etc there?
If you feel a checklist is not complete, go around or don't accept line-up clearance until you run the checklist again.
- and was the checklist 'complete' in their minds...? How many wheels-ups have 'seen' three greens at 1500'?

I would recommend you take a look at what we old 'hairy-arses' say, and in the words of one
"These are known 'killer' items from past accidents, and therefore, in my considered opinion, deserve a second look."

Of course, you don't HAVE to do it.
