I don't care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.

This is how you end up with police making up an "anonymous tip" which allows them to gain a warrant and dig through the personal possessions of anyone they don't like.

The problem isn't solve with anonymity, but by actually protecting the whistle blowers.

The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.

Sometimes you can't verify things though

Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.

We already have enough evidence to verify a lot of the horrible things that has happened at these two companies. So what you wrote might be true in some situations, but it has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
