"The story of Mr Diallo's sacking by machine began when his entry pass
to the Los Angeles skyscraper where his office was based failed to work,
forcing him to rely on the security guard to allow him entry."

A classic problem of poorly implemented automation: insufficient support
for exception handling and overriding and reversing errors.
