Post TWA 800 - Changed the World?

There was an interesting programme on C4 last night showing the incredible investigation into TWA 800. Unfortunately they implied the results had changed aviation.

Tell me I'm wrong but absolutely nothing has changed has it? There are still 747s with the same fuel tank and wiring risks, all over the world as we speak.

Incidentally they seemed to be saying it was a high voltage getting into a low voltage sensor line but that the spark was caused by residues that form over long periods when connections are immersed in fuel - so Kapton is not to blame?
