C'mon guys. Can't have it both ways.
Humanity has learn't to build some very fine technology based on logic and proof, but the social order of the planet, such as it is, still holds together mostly on mysticism and superstition.
Many highly-regarded religions, for example, teach people to form unwavering convictions and beliefs and then to base all thought and behavior on those beliefs.
If the psychic really believed he had a vision, well then, he had a vision.
How are the much-maligned security folks going to toss a magic coin that mechanically sorts out a well-meaning nutso psychic from the pool of murder-minded nutso sociopaths? They can't. They just have to go thru the motions.
Brings a new dimension to the concept of 'overhead'.
But that psychic is na likely t'be flying much from now on.

So if I understand this correctly...
If I call an airline and say 'There is a bomb aboard Flt xxxx' and there isn't then that's a hoax and I'm in trouble.
If I call an airline and say 'I'm a psychic and there is a bomb aboard Flt xxxx' and there isn't then that's a warning?
The world has gone mad (again).

What a farce.
Other Government agencies that have received "assistance" from Psychics, have noted similar levels of success.
I was listening to a very interesting program the other night where the psychic who claimed to have solved the Polly Klass murder a few years ago was roundly denounced by her very angry father. I cannot (and would not) discredit psychics, but I wouldn't bank my fortune on their advice.
I have to pass through the TSA examination again tomorrow - wonder if I'll get to catch my flight or miss it again, like the last one I took? Maybe I should call the psychic hotline before I go?

Brill's Content has examined ten recent Montel Williams programs that highlighted Browne's work as a psychic detective (as opposed to her ideas about "the afterlife," for example), spanning 35 cases. In 21, the details were too vague to be verified. Of the remaining 14, law-enforcement officials or family members involved in the investigations say that Browne had played no useful role.
"These guys don't solve cases, and the media consistently gets it wrong," says Michael Corn, an investigative producer for "Inside Edition" who produced a story last May debunking psychic detectives. Moreover, the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children maintain that to their knowledge, psychic detectives have never helped solve a single missing-person case.
"Zero. They go on TV and I see how things go and what they claim but no, zero," says FBI agent Chris Whitcomb. "They may be remarkable in other ways, but the FBI does not use them" ("Prophet Motive," Brill's Content, November 27, 2000).

Nostradamus prophecy
Milk, frog's blood prepared in Dalmatia.
Conflict given, plague near Treglia:
A great cry will sound through all Slavonia,
Then a monster will be born near and within Ravenna.
Obvious really isn't it!

It is only normal for those from the lesser nations to be jealous...
I hear people predicted the world was due to end a couple of times over the past few decades. Or some Alien spacecraft was goning to come along in the tail of a comet and pick up some true believers. Dropped the ball on that one!

Wrong quatrain, Squire...
a fox will be elected without speaking one word,
appearing saintly in public living on barley bread,
afterwards he will suddenly become a tyrant
putting his foot on the throats of the greatest men.
Tell me I'm wrong.
