According to a report from Top Class Actions, there is always a reason why your windshield cracks or shatters even if it seems there is no logical explanation.

With FOERSTER testing systems, both semi-finished products and individual components can be tested for different surface defects without damage. Depending on the type of fault to be determined - point, longitudinal or transverse cracks - and depending on the material to be tested, different test devices are used. These are based on different technologies, such as the eddy current method, flux leakage testing, or heat flow thermography. Mobile crack detection testers can also be used for maintenance testing.
ROTO-PUSH / ROTO-SCAN: ROTO-PUSH and ROTO-SCAN are fully automatic test mechanisms for testing cylindrical components or rings for cracks and microstructure using the eddy current method. The components are then sorted and separated.
STATOGRAPH: The STATOGRAPH testing devices were developed for automatic crack detection on components using the eddy current method. A wide variety of different sensors are available to suit the different testing tasks.

In a move similar to what the city and county of San Diego have already done, President Joe Biden announced measures on monday intended to crack down on Ghost Guns. The move drew praise from San Diego city councilwoman Marni Von Wilpert, and county board of supervisors chair Nathan Fletcher. Ghost guns are guns without serial numbers, usually made from assembling purchased or homemade components. Biden says under the new rules ghost guns will be required to have serial numbers and sellers will have to be licensed and background check their buyers 2ff7e9595c
