[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yay, it's 9/11 all over again.  Irrational fear makes people do stupid things.  [/quote]

What would an example of rational fear be?  I assume it would be an objective instead of a subjective test?[/quote]

Are you saying it's rational to think that someone reading the news on their phone while the plane is on the ground (which EVERYONE is doing now, especially now that they allow electronics to be used) is a threat?[/quote]

Uhh...no.  You referred to irrational fear.  That suggests that there could be rational fears.  Just wondering what an example would be.  If you can't provide one, that's ok.[/quote]

Not the pp but how about a woman carri g the BRAC gene afraid of getting cancer?[/quote]

Sure, ok.  Not sure how that would apply to see something, say something, though.[/quote]

You asked for a rational fear. That's one. A rational fear for 'see something, say something'.  A man in NC stopped at a rest stop and parked next to a camper. A woman was peering out the window, and something in her eyes gave him a hinky feeling. She did not try to get his attention or anything. He called the police anyway. Turns out she was indeed a kidnapped woman (about 22). He went on gut. He was correct.[/quote]

Your example would seem to suggest reporting based on instinct.  The applicable law here says otherwise.  Your report must be made in good faith and based on the objective evidence.  Good ending there, though.[/quote]
