As a result of a Boeing jet losing a door plug a number of steps have been taken to reassure the flying public.

The TSA announced that passengers flying on Boeing 737-9 jets will now be allowed to include a large crescent wrench in their carry-on luggage. 

The TSA is also considering allowing passengers to wear a parachute if sitting in a row adjacent to a door or wall-plug. 

In a move toward transparency, Boeing announced that its wall-plugs are being renamed wall-corks to better reflect their performance.

Alaska Airlines recently announced a blow-out sale price for passengers willing to sit in a row next to a wall plug. 

A well-placed source reports that the FBI is investigating Betsy McFuddle, a Boeing assembler, who abruptly resigned from Boeing after it was discovered that she made $67,000 at craft fairs, selling cute dog statues made out of bolts and nuts.
