National Gun Database Backfires (UK)

Further delays have plagued the project to create the National Firearms Licensing Management System (NFLMS).

Two forces that have been piloting the database, Lancashire Police and the Metropolitan Police, will now have to run further tests. They have been forced to do so by the need to cleanse data so that information can be shared, and to configure different networks that have so far proved incompatible...Initially, the budget for the NFLMS was set at £5.5m, but following delays this has expanded by £1.5m.

Crikey! That's really too bloody bad. Who could have predicted something like this might happen?
