Although I'm not directly affected, not being a Legacy o= wner, I feel the need (okay, urge) to put in my 2 cents worth.  This d= iscussion reminds me of one I had once with a safety expert that was giving= some reasons for the much lower vehicle accident rate here than in Europe.=  She said that one factor is that here we are uniformly moving light = poles away from roadways.  She pointed to a pole that was next to the = street and said, "that pole will kill someone someday.  We don't know = when, but it will.  That's why we're moving it."  There was no di= scussion of the fault or even why someone might die, just a statement of fa= ct.  I think the same is true of the canopy problem.  The incorpo= ration of a secondary latch will result in fewer deaths.  You can argue about the pilot's (as a group) skill level, or their attention to ch= ecklists or warning lights, but in the end there will be more people alive = if secondary latches are there.  Isn't that enough reason to go ahead = with it?
Just my thought on the subject.
