Whether or not the guy had a bomb, whether or not he was retarded you can't say bomb on a plane or in an airport anymore, thats just the way it is. In this situation you have a lot of people in a very small space (terminals, cabin etc), its a good target. While situations may cause people to act silly and say they have a bomb (not saying mental illness = silly, but for the general case saying you have a bomb is stupidity), if you disobey an order like freeze and you are the only running person around/guy holding a gun then frankly if you don't you are asking for trouble... in Britain its often called Death by Cop. The officers don't want to risk themselves or others, however if it comes down to it you are a suspect and they are the law (and other civillians), they should generally take the rule that 1 < many and attempt to stop you in whatever way is necessary (especially in bomb/firearm cases).
