I'll tell you, the day that inspectors stop inspecting, I'll stop flying; the day that meat inspectors stop inspecting meat, I'll stop eating meat; the day drug inspectors stop inspecting drugs, I'll stop taking drugs. I think it's costly--there's no doubt about it.
I proposed what I did because the people doing the work will know where the problems are. If they have a way of reporting deficiencies without the fear that every time they do it they put their careers on the line, I think that would be better. In engineering we call it whistle-blowing. Yes, it's costly. Safety is expensive, as I said, but I stand by my remarks.
