The most recent overhead shots indicate that neither the JBDs (Jet Blast Deflectors) or the arresting gear has been installed yet. Surely you can't be serious?

Hmm, ok, that's interesting. Any idea when the picture was taken? Looks like they're of the rearmost JBD being installed. Note that only two pair of articulation arms are in place. And those may not be really the arms but rather bracing beams.
The overhead shots, apparently from a week or two ago, showed big gaping holes where the JBDs fall flush into the flightdeck.
