There are other ways to determine that someone is unarmed, not the least of which is that they didn't exit their Vehicle of Terror with guns blazing. Neil Surely that is not the first time you've seen a "felony traffic stop" on TV.. even if it WAS the first time you may have seen it applied to a pilot in a plane. The ground guys did their job, just like they were trained to. Everyone got to go home alive that night. Dave

I expect to go home alive every night with one exception, and I don't expect that exception to be at the hands of some paranoid idiot with a badge over-reacting to what should have been a non-event. Their lack of common sense is more worrisome than the hazard they misperceived. Neil
