He very well could have one of more of your ultra nifty knives. And while you are frisking him you'd be in range of his knife, and the point of having a gun would be mute. At close range you might be at a disadvantage w/ a pistoli unless you are super fast on the draw, and employ CAR type shooting techniques. Because at short range small changes in your targets position = large changes in attack vector (polar moment issues come to mind at well as getting blocked or attacked by an adversary in melee. Distance and tempo are critical
Always makes you wonder about search procedures used by security. IMO if someone isn't on the ground w/ cuffs on their hands behind them and on their ankles w/ a hannibal lecter mask (and even then) I'd consider that range proximity to be extremely dangerous. At least w/ a little standoff or standing behind them you buy enough time to react?
Just a thought.
Btw, those are knives really neat, might get one for my jacket collar [thumbsup]
