Wind Shear is detectable, but not from the cockpit. After the Delta Airlines crash at the DFW airport, I believe most, if not all airports had equipment installed that could detect wind shear/microbursts.

I think they should be looking into the possibility that the tail fin was sheared off by a giant sausage.

Wind shear is detectable only from a network of deployed sensors. Such sensors are arrayed around airports and detect wind shears etc only at the level at which they are installed. ie ground to maybe 100 ft. Doppler radar can detect shears but only if there is something moving in the air like rain etc.
