A New York-bound Virgin Atlantic flight was canceled just moments before takeoff last week when an alarmed passenger said he spotted several screws missing from the plane’s wing.

As in, do I think it means there are poor inspection practices?
No it isn’t indicative of this. Planes fly with things wrong with them every single day.
There is every chance that the maintenance crew notified people of this - it was signed off as still being airworthy and the whole reason this was an issue is actually because PR not a risk to safety.
Okay whatever you have to tell yourself bra. If this were not a concern they would have FLOWN THE PLANE and not grounded it out of safety concern. lol.
