Well, people do it. Terrorists are ciminals, not supertroopers. When people think of terrorists, they think of the rabid fundamentalist, but it isn't always true. Most of them are young, dumb, and scared. If they are holding you for any length of time, they start to relax, try to talk to you. And you start to humanize. That road leads to Helsinki, btw.
The only thing in that section I had to grumble with was the don't look at the guy with a gun to your head. NO, I'm going to look at him, if even just for a moment. A mook in a skimask, his weapon in my ear- I've got height, body type, voice, age (one eye line at around 21, one more every seven years or so), eye color, maybe hair color. And that is going to be a polaroid moment.
