• You'll notice in the above it has "NO FOCUSED INSPECTION" then "Focused inspection results tonight"
  
  Basically it means they've cleared the vehicle at Level 1, then conduct Level 2 (but are already at the point they know they aren't looking at anything of concern that requires the OBSS to be used on FD5), then peer review to finally clear the orbiter.

• 3.5 hours until estimated EVA-1 start, for those wondering.
  
  Jeff Williams seems to have issues with something - didn't catch what, but all four bolts dropped off it.

• Focused Inspection clearance for FD5 fully confirmed. Reason for taking longer to confirm was due to a need to enhance ET Door imagery.
• #12 by Chris Bergin on 19 Nov, 2009 09:53
• To add, they tend to focus at on the TPS around the ET doors as they had some cosmetic damage in those areas over a few flights since RTF, though not recently (hardly any TPS damage in general on recent flights apart from the starboard Chine area).

• Since no focus inspection is needed Frank De Winne will get an additional 1.5 hours for Node-1 outfitting.
