IMO the same kind of radical transparency should apply to all industrial processes that pose large potential hazards to public health & safety, i.e. nuclear power stations, transgenic agriculture, etc.
It seems very quickly an OpenFab plant will need to implement the same security as a current conventional plant. This will of necessity include keeping out plebs/civilians/non-plant workers. And there you go again not knowing whose doing what within the plant. Unless you happen to be on the inside ...
Not necessarily. Completely and immutably document the plant build from the start. No part of the build or operation moves forward unless all concur it meets spec. Security yes, no need to touch the machines or workers as those have all met spec beforehand. Any one could still visit and walk the gangway, peruse webcams from home, download the document set, etc. Trust is not merely a point, but how you got there and how you maintain it thereafter.
