Talked to a retired tech at the hangar about grounding straps

Guy with 30 years in said he sees more static issues from loose braided straps than bad connectors. Said he watched a crew chase a transponder glitch for two days before finding a corroded strap under the floor panel. Anyone else check those before swapping boxes?

Huh, is that really a common thing though? I've had way more luck finding bad connectors than actual corroded straps in my 15 years of turning wrenches.
