False Terror Arrest Leads To $2 Million Settlement

I don't know about you, but if I was falsely arrested in connection with a bombing that killed almost 200 people, $2 million seems a bit low. This is why lab techs need to be right the first time. Check, then double check your findings. In my line of work, a screwup can cause about $1,000 an hour in downtime. In their line of work, reputations and ways of making a living can be ruined forever. That's not to say that this wasn't a simple mistake. It could readily have been. But before you arrest someone, you have to be absolutely sure that what you find is correct.
