ok, let's count up housefires caused by a non-modified, quality device that just all of the sudden burst into flames. seriously. when is the last time you heard of an electric range, which i suspect pulls an assload more juice than a transponder does, suddenly bursting into flames? a refrigerator? electric dryer?
are there home electrical fires? sure. mostly caused by idiots who overload their own wiring with crap--say 4 gazillion xmas light plugged into one outlet.
i didn't say that using lots of fuses was nonsense. i said that using risk of fire as an excuse to not make the transponder undefeatable by the crew INFLIGHT, was nonsense.
