Forgive me for my ignorance, but I understand that the only bolts which have been checked are those which secure door plugs. The checks have found that in many cases they are not tightened to spec.

I imagine there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of bolts on an airliner. How is it that the industry has confidence in the rest of them, and that the investigations are limited to the plug door bolts?
