A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

FBI moves fast on hijackers
Quick apprehension of the suspects in two back-to-back airplane hijackings over the weekend is new confirmation of the continuing effectiveness of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Likewise, yesterday's thwarting of a half-hearted amateurish attempt at the Portland airport.
More than that, it is a gratifying demonstration that pirating a plane and jeopardizing the lives of passengers and crew in order to extort money does not pay, D. B. Cooper notwithstanding.
Cooper remains the only fugitive who has frustrated federal agents. And none of the money he extorted has turned up. There is no evidence that he survived to spend it, but the fact that neither he nor his body has been found doubtless inspired imitators who used the same techniques. Hopefully, their failure will discourage others who now should realize that the odds are long against them.
