Some interlocks are very important. For example, some of the interlocks
on vacuum column tape drives are to keep the tape from winding up
in a tangle
all over the room (and in an extreme case possibly strangling someone).
Did you mean "an" extreme case (such a case exists) or "the" extreme
case (such a case could exist). Boy, that would make The News of The
Weird and probably The World Weekly News and other tabloids. Would
there be a CERT advisory for that?
