I think one of the big reasons Jack didn't slash the guy's tires:
There is every possibility that Khalid would have seen him do it! You're a terrorist, you're standing in line to pay for gas (or something), you see some guy approach your car, then walk away. When you come out, you've got a flat tire. Game over--you know you've been made.
I'm not saying a robbery is the only other option, but I don't think messing with his car is a viable choice.

And it's not like a flat tire or hold up the whole gas station were the only options.
It sure didn't take long for the terrorist on foot to find a new vehicle on that road.
Yes, that's convenient.
So if you were one of the hostages (like the terrorist) wouldn't you wonder why a robber doesn't care if people (who he lets live) see his face when he came with means to prevent it? Why even bring the mask in the 1st place? |
For the tires, I would assume that we would have flaten more then one tire. And it would seem kind of strange that when you went inside to pay for gas that you tires are ok, and then when you come back they are flat. Also people sometimes dont have such a great memory when it comes to situations like this.

Whenever I had a flat tire I only had 1 flat tire to change. Jack didn't need to delay him long. 1 flat tire would have been fine.
As far as risks, there seems to be 2 with the flat tire...
1>Jack isn't sly enough and the terrorist can easily see and is watching his vehicle so Jack is seen doing it. Then the terrorist assumes Jack is not an envious vandal/nut, but a high-tech agent without a car tracking device slitting a tire because he needs a few minutes to lock a satellite on him.
or
2>The terrorist doesn't believe he could have ever punctured his tire just before pulling in. And after standing in line and then pumping gas obtain a flat. The flat tire, even after his evasive manuevers earlier, must mean someone is following him without a car tracking device and gave him a flat because they need a few minutes to lock a satellite on him.
Some of the risks for the robbery attempt...
1>Jack gets himself killed;
and/or
2>Jack gets innocent people, like the cop, killed;
and/or
3>The terrorist gets killed or gets away before the car-jacking;
and/or
4>The hostages (terrorist, cop, whoever) successfully stop Jack during the robbery;
and/or
5>The terrorist doesn't believe Jack is a robber due to some/all the questions raised in this thread;
and/or
6>The local police stop Jack.

Well, to be fair, TCU did have a down year, but they've flirted with going undefeated a couple of seasons ago.

As long as JACK is on the job, we have nothing to worry about. But all the rest are suspect. Any organization where KIM could train for only 6 months and become a key member............. And CLOE, going from nut case to expert extrordinaire. You've got to be kidding. And a queen B**CH that doesn't seem to have a clue. A recipe for disaster. THANK GOD FOR JACK. |
I agree. CTU seems like it does not even have a clue what to do.

I doubt most people consider themself average for some reason or another. And "average" is a very subjective term.
