#3 "Bring up the robots, Nigel!"
"They say they don't want to come, sir! 'At thing looks dangerous!"

I dunno. I'd bet that British bomb disposal robots sport a toilet plunger and an annoying voice that screeches "EXTERMINATE!"

#4 And now, they'll be asking these guys if they would kindly share whatever information they might have regarding their boom-mates. I don't think they'll be have a pleasant chat over tea and crumpets.

#6 Howard about 50 minutes ago Fox News here in the States reported the "boomer" taken into custody had a suicide vest on and that is why he was hit with the taser gun....you heard anything about this?

#7 Taser into a booooooomer vest? Wouldn't the static and electrical sparks set off a BIG kaboom!?

Imagine the British headlines if it had:

SHOOT TO POLICY KILL NOW INCLUDES HIGH-EXPLOSIVE BULLETS"

If it's professionally-made explosives, I'd bet not. The home-brewed stuff they tend to use? I wouldn't want to breath near it.

If the explosives detonator won't set of the explosives, I don't think a Taser will.

#15 There is only one way to find out what the Taser would do. A bullet to the head is a certainty.
