The congressional press release only references the cost ineffective "wire mesh" 12-cable barrier systems. They are cheap because they put an exceptional burden on the constant maintenance they will require from 2 difference contractors who need to repair it and take the jet out of service.
This was no "elephant" who simply vaulted over a drink-cart. Not sure why you're so confident in 20 to 80-year-old FAs with a drink-cart saving your life...
Yes, the "FAA hurdles" are minimal in order to clear.
