12/30: Reid capture in progress

It's not a great shot, but what you're looking at is a passenger's camera shot of approximately eight passengers tying up Richard Reid after he tried to blow up his shoes.

It's what you might think - evidence of the deputization of every able-bodied person in air security. Think he could have gotten away if he wasn't tied down with belts and injected with Valium? No way. A third of the passengers would have held the guy down, made him one with the aisle carpeting if needed.
