What I wonder is how plans-built status is (or should be) validated.
With photos? Signed affadavits?

Hmmm... DNA samples... CSI Oshkosh...

Yeah, Bob. Check the trace amounts of blood in the sharp bits of the
airplane... check the pilot's medical records to see if he was admitted
for riveting through the web of his hand (happened to a guy around
here), dropping an XP-360 on his instep, or developing allergies to
epoxy resin...

Checking court records... "is he divorced? And was the plane cited as
the co-respondent?" (I know, they don't do that any more).
