I would agree that it very possibly could be, and I would assume that a company like spidertrax does quality inspections and possibly even UT's or x-rays their materials.

Last time I saw him he was hanging out with Mr. Octagon having a Beer at miss Pentagon's place....at least it was only a quarter and not the whole dollar.
