having worked for both the FAA and Airline servicing companies as well as meeting a lot of disgruntled pissed off mechanics that have watched their wages plummet I dont think it could happen.
Also pilots are very snot and hardnosed and will walk around and kick the tires of a plane. They would notice any mods to anything on the wing and refuse to fly such an animal. A Unionized FAA person would then toss an inspection, these folks HATE the government PASSIONATELY since the reagan years and would ground any aircraft so modified and defy Shrub himself and start inspecting whole fleets with a call to a friendly media outlet or several dozen.
my 2 cents,
thanx,
