There must be a way to monitor wheel well activity with cameras? And abort the flight if someone tries to get on?

It was only 73 recorded deaths starting from 1946. This would be one of the crappiest cost/result ratio in lifesaving efforts in the history of humanity.

...but in the context of aircraft (where we go through ridiculous security theatre; and where we cannot use any technology; etc) we're used to that kind of spending.

So when will we see the TSA mandate for landing gear inspections?

It should be possible, but I guess airlines probably aren't keen to spend money on something like that since they won't see it as their problem. Their paying passengers aren't the ones dying.

Or, you know, secure the airport properly to see nothing bad or unusual is happening...
