Quote: And MORE innocent? Either you are innocent or not.
Yes, but the differentiation in this case is those we know were innocent and those we don't know.
You're awfully quick to assume that the passenger was totally innocent, even while it's just as, if not more, likely that he wasn't.
And there simply can't be a "other stuff wasn't tried" excuse -- you get one chance to stop a car at 100mph. You don't get to sit around in a War Room and brainstorm 50 different way to go about it.
