Read the article, and watch the videos.  I have no sympathy for the tourists in these situations.

One time we were in London and a young couple were doing a fairly close inspection of a guardsman. The bloke started showing off, geting very close aand finally standing right alongside him. At which point the guardsman carried out a Present Arms manouvre.
It's done briskly with lots of loud slapping off the gun etc and stamping off boots.
The young guy went about a foot in the air and landed about 6 feet away.
Then slunk off with his tail betwen his legs.  The dozen or so of us watching applauded.

Being a doggie, I know full well what having your tail between your legs is really all about.

Given recent events, I wouldn't be approaching anyone armed, too closely. The general public present a real threat to these dudes and they have every right to retaliate. You never know where isis member's are.
