They were sniffing something!
Oh. You knew that. Right. But you didn't know what they were sniffing, did you? Well...
Previous studies have shown that participants in "trust games" took greater risks with their money after inhaling the hormone via a nasal spray....
[From Schneier on Security: Nasal Spray Increases Trust for Strangers]
"The subjects who received oxytocin demonstrated no change in their trust behaviour, even though they were informed that their trust was not honoured in roughly 50% of cases."
...maybe that. Or not. But they were sniffing something. You can pretty much bet on that. I mean, come on. Give me one other reason that makes sense.
