Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson told members of the justice
committee that 20,086 stop-search records were corrupted last year - the
source of the recent furore over consensual searches on children - as a
result of "a computer programmer pressing the wrong button"
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31525040>.

He explained: "They [the records] had been properly put on the system by
the officers as a result of stopping and searching people, but we lost the
outcome of it as a computer programming error
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31537232>."

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
