I think Americans should be scrutinizing a lot more of it's incumbent institutions/companies. They probably don't deserve the steady funding/regulatory capture they receive.
Specifically in the Boeing case, you'd think that the software quality issues on the airplane side would trigger anyone doing business with them to be more skeptical about their software.
It's amazing how far Boeing has fallen. But I suppose you can diagnose the problem by looking at their leadership. Why has their leadership moved to chicago?
