I remember an incident right after 9/11 when a waitress at a restaurant overheard a middle eastern man speaking on a cell, trying to hire someone to "bring it down". The waitress reported the terrorist threat, he was detained and questioned until they released him after he was able to prove that he was trying to hire someone to bring his car down to where he had been traveling.

A man with a bunch of guns is much more a credible threat. Three cheers for the attentive cabbie.
