Yeah, it really is. They took dumb chances and endangered their mission. You can't cut corners on that kind of thing.

- knowaveragejoe 3y agoIt could only be construed as dumb insofar as we assume the FAA's side of things is totally sane in its own right. Which, knowing government, it's probably not.
