FAA: Boeing apparently didn't confirm bonding "where the wings join the fuselage."

I though this was a "the wings fall off" joke. But, no, that's the inspections that were inadequately controlled.

"The FAA has opened an investigation into Boeing after the company voluntarily informed us in April that it may not have completed required inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the fuselage on certain 787 Dreamliner airplanes," the FAA said in a statement provided to Ars today.
