Perception of danger often involves not just seeing but also a tendency to overlook or doubt red flags. This is evident when individuals downplay negative information about suspects who do not fit the typical criminal profile. Research reveals that weak signals, which are fragmented and difficult to detect, play a crucial role in counterterrorism and other contexts. Misjudging signal strength due to overconfidence can lead to dangerous oversights, as illustrated by historical examples where potential threats were not adequately addressed.
