		Sandra, the always cheerful Newham press officer, didn't sound surprised when she reported the failure of the Visionics system, and by this time, neither was I. The vaunted clear-cut success of FaceIt in reducing crime in Newham more than in neighbouring boroughs doesn't stand up to close analysis.
