This is a question I should have been arrested

Faced with The Law when I and a bunch of equally idiotic mates set off a load of loud explosions down the local chalk pit, we blamed bigger boys who had run off. Tell us of the times when you got away with something naughty and slightly out of order.

Thanks to MatJ for the suggestion

I can't be bothered to do the sums
but a 48% hit rate when only, say, 1 in 10 people are carrying is a quite a bit better than chance. As your further reading demonstrated.
Ahhhh, statistics...

I phrased that wrong
can't be bothered looking for the 48% statistic, but it was a 48% chance of being 'correct' (as opposed to finding a positive result) in a double blind experiment. It's the same result that you get if you test dowsing rod folk in the same way.
