Dr. Carl Sagan, among his other publications, discussed a "Baloney Detection Kit." This "kit" and the principles within were used by Dr. Sagan to combat pseudoscience and sloppy thinking. However, the nine tools in this Baloney Detection Kit are also an excellent way to combat fraud and white collar crime. I can't promise that by following all 9 rules of the Baloney Detection Kit you will never be a victim of fraud. I can promise, however, that your chances are greatly reduced.

This show is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Carl Sagan - tireless champion for scientific reasoning and the wonder of the Cosmos.
