If /CSI/ is accurate, there /is/ a national database of cases from crimes,
and it's used to match and trace a weapon in later crimes, but nothing
changes the fact the case has to be entered into the system.  And, as I
said earlier, you can obliterate the validity of that entry by replacing
the parts that contact the cartridge.

Hell, what person /wouldn't/ try to stay "off the screen"?
