....Nope. According to the PAO g00ber, these were five airflow sensors.
What's interesting is that based on the loop chatter, nobody had one
iota of a clue what the cover got snagged on; apparently the yank
method got tested several *thousand* times and this never occurred. No
word as to whether they're going to investigate further, considering
this is a one-off piece of test gear.
