BBC News 'wrong guy' is revealed.
As evidence that identification errors occur in industries other than health care, this article describes how a graduate student interviewing for a job at the BBC studios was mistakenly put on television to comment on a legal case (he haltingly answered three questions and later told the BBC that he would be "happy to return" to "speak about any situation"). This mishap demonstrates the need to use multiple means of identification to avoid "wrong-person" errors.
