Personally I think likelihood of getting ABF in extracting with common 
extractor from previous beekeeper is smaller than getting the hive hit by 
lightening. If no frames are exchanged.

I have had this conversation before and I totally agree. All the honey is moving downstream from the frames. The very real danger is in frames pulled from AFB hives and placed onto healthy ones. The obvious solution *would be* to mark every super but most folks won't or can't do it.
