They did however, strand thousands of people which cost millions of dollars for something that wasn't a legitimate threat to the safety of anyone. "...the FAA said the wiring still was not secured and stowed properly in wheel wells..." ABC site. Wow. Not even in the wings with the fuel baldder. Ever tried to light a cig at 30,000 feet going 400+mph? Not happening.

After that, flying commerical would be a breeze, leaking out, shorted out engines, fire in the hole...whatever. Maybe Coburn has Inhofe as a pilot.

There were only a couple (few) hundred people's lives on the line...on each flight. When you look at that in relation to the entire population of the world, it hardly registers.

At least he's got a brain; they're still searching for Jim Inhofe's.

(please notice my "sarcasm"). http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=4639754 Some wiring loom was missing on some planes. If some wires lost their cover's cover, and we had a fuel leak and a short (read: SPARK from said wires) then maybe we could have had a fire. I'm out to buy a lottery ticket.

This has been proven to be a bad bet. Unlike on TV, the taunter frequently has his bluff called in real life. “Normally the person being shot does not request the shooter pull the trigger.”
