“When I was flagged, I was very surprised. That was also part of the frustration because I know for a fact I didn’t react until I heard the gun. To be 1/1000th too quick – I know I’m quick but that kind of sucks.” – @DevonAllen13 explains his DQ

I'm no expert (20 years) but perhaps officials are getting too comfortable with the tech. You still have to use your senses. In close calls, watch the slo mo. Give benefit of the doubt to athletes. Tech fails. But officials shouldn't fail athletes.
