And newpaper and magazine articles also have reports of numerous bombers in Israel that were not 'talked down'.

Wrong analogy..
Go back and read what I was responding to..

It was stated categorically that it was always the case.. shoot first, shoot for the head, shoot to kill..
Read what he said..

I merely countered that statement with fact.. Such is not the case.. Other methods are used..

The measures used ared dictated by the circumstances, one size does not fit all..

"The measures used ared dictated by the circumstances, one size does not fit all.."

So what method do you propose that fits this situation, middle eastern male leaves a suspected terrorist abode, ignores orders to stop, attempts to board a passenger train, while wearing clothing that is more appropriate to hiding a bomb than the weather? In a city that has had eight suicide bomber attempts in two weeks?
