You know, that thing that enabled you to assess something and make a reasonable decision based on the evidence before you? A while ago I was flying out from my local small airport. While waiting to go thru security I saw a sign telling me that, if anyone made a frivilous remark about having a bomb in their bag or whatever, they may be detained etc etc. Now, I'm not sticking up for the kind of prawns who think it's hilarious to say, when asked if they have anything in their baggage? "Oh, yeh, an AK47, two hand grenades and a neutron bomb." There's an argument that they should be arrested for crimes against comedy. You just know they're the kind of person who shouts out some supposedly funny remark in the cinema at a crucial moment. But is it truly not possible to tell the difference between a real security threat and someone just being a knob?
Of course, to make that assessment would require some common sense.
