Seven years! We wouldn't want Boeing to move too quickly in
implementing safety measures:

Yeah, 'cause there's been such a spate of fuel tank explosions in transport
aircraft over the last seven years. Obviously this is a safety hazard that
should have been addressed with greater zeal, since it presents such a
significant risk to passengers. Especially given the solid, unambiguous
evidence showing that fuel vapor caused all those fuel tank explosion
airframe failures that have occurred during that time.

Seems to me it would be much simpler and cheaper simply to not run
electrical wires into or through the fuel tanks.

That's what I thought too.
