I think it has more to do with the value of a suspects interrogation.

Was he wearing a bulky coat at the time of arrest?

would to subway cops had to have used their guns if they had an effective non lethal alternative to hand?

if youre an armed cop you should at least have a taser as well

How about dartguns loaded with botulinum toxin or tetrodo toxin?

Perhaps the police could be armed with high flow CO2 sprays capable of freezing the perp and his bomb.

What kind of moron would taser someone you suspected of carrying explosives?

we had this little event last year (you know, the one with the thousands participants and visitors from all around the world. the one major UK papers said it was terrorist nightmare bound to happen). guess what, nothing happened!

meanwhile, mr blair says the bombings was his "wake up call". i'm not perfectly sure how terrorists feel hearing statements like this

They were practically in bed with them in the past. Why do you think Athens International had so many security problems? They might feel bad for being betrayed like that.

I guess that if you run into an open space with lots of free ground around you, they'll use the Israeli method.

Greek terrorism propaganda was a way to pressure a state whose policies inconvinience you. You issued traveling advisory for a country which had the less # of fatalities from terrorist attacks and was the safest in Europe for anyone to visit. Amazing how you can spin things completely around, with the valiant aid of washington times and other worthy media. It only affected students of departmentes who've lost their academic mission long ago chosing to marry politics in research. Like yours.

Suffering from ads?

Doesn't matter if a country is safe, if it doesn't follow our line we'll put out a traveling advisory anyway and attack its tourism etc.
Pretty thuggish methodes, oh and completely without result except maybe for making your policies look even more foolish.
But as I said God seems to have an overdeveloped sense of irony

It doesn't compare. In this case, he was caught offguard and it wasn't likely he had an explosives belt on him. For the other guy there was a more reasonable likelidhood he was about to blow himself and alot of innocent people up.

I guess that some think that that is the Israeli method - strange fantasies are difficult to get rid of - no, i think of the disarming the bomb and arrest the person method.
