This article made me think of unintended consequences. For example, Bruce Schneier wrote in his book Beyond Fear how the increase in secure car ignitions (that can't be hardwired) led to an increase in the number of carjackings in Russia. In this case, the immediate design outcome was to make the car's ignition more secure, but the impact seems to endanger the car's occupants.
