Re #35: I think mdw is doing a sort of double "after the fact". Even after
the fact it seems to me that it was something totally natural to consider
before the fact. After all, what were all the thermocouples in the wings
for? If an out of temperature excursion occurred, which did occur, what
was the point of knowing that? To be able to follow the disintegration of
the shuttle more accurately? The point of detecting trouble is to do
something about it. I can't imagine the engineers and managers didn't know
that.

Some of that instrumentation isn't there for the safety of the people
onboard. It's there so we can tell what happened after the thing goes
"boom".
We do it with airplanes too. The "black boxes" (which are usually
bright orange) don't do a thing to protect the passengers onboard.

Collectively, however, the "black boxes" protect all commercial aircraft
passengers by providing information essential to the improvement of
flight safety.

Protect all commercial aircraft at least as far as flaws can be corrected.
The boxes protect all future passengers as unfixable aircraft should/would
be grounded.

I think we should have air-marshals on all flights with WHOREs for passengers.
