It'll be an inspection process to see if the bolts are there and properly torqued. Hopefully, the process has been fixed at Boeing, and they won't find any more problems. I'm surprised, if the bolts were not installed, it lasted 145 flights.
Boeing really needs to get their act together. This type of quality control issue at this level is unconscionable. Absolutely no excuse.
