We'll think we have the culprit but bad data will take us in a wrong direction. It seems to me that for safety and security, we need to make sure the information we are using is valid, and then the automated solutions will convey the right information to the right people. Missing data is easier to deal with than wrong data because at least you know when the data is missing.
