What is there to 'inspect' it is just a bunch of people sitting there doing nothing all day just twiddling their thumbs, same with the one in Bangkok. The plans are a shambles as is the early warning system, they were told right at the beginning that things were wrong but would they listen obviously not. The whole thing was just a joke and a way to make money.
