That the man is under some type of duress is a given. Putting myself in his shoes... at an airport, approached by uniformed people that I am unable to communicate with would not put me in a fight or flight state. It would put me in a lay down and submit state of mind. Survival don't you know?

If I was in a remote situation as originally posted, I would stay back, stay safe, warn others, make the phone call and let people trained in the use of Tasers take care of the problem. I do not want him thinking that I am baring my teeth at him! Survival don't you know?

John, I am assuming you are a 1963 model. When you were about 7 or 8 years old there was some sappy antiwar love song thing. Part of the refrain was "Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life" Oh yea, Billy did do the hero thing and won a posthumous Purple Heart. Stupid song.
