ABSTRACT

I magine that it is 10.00 p.m. and you are packing for an international flight early the next morning. You need your passport, but it’s nowhere to be found. Deep concern sets in.

It’s midnight. Your flight is at 6.00 a.m. You drive to work, dig through drawers, and look on every shelf. No passport. Returning to your car, you peer under the floor-mats, rummage through the trunk, and grasp hopefully under the seats, as light rain soaks your back. You are now fully panicked.
