You seem to want a system where the regulators, while embedded at Boeing, are just wandering around and looking at things. What we have in aviation is a system where engineers, the people wearing the rings, with an ethical and moral obligation to prevent harm to other people, are charged with identifying issues and escalating them as far as the FAA if needed as they work on their day-to-day tasks.The latter is a much better system to find issues than the former, you get a chance to see a lot more issues when your actively working on the systems where the issues would be than if your walking around and looking at paperwork.
