Without knowing the details, I'm not sure how safe other methods could have been. He had military training, and even with flashbangs there's some element of risk.
I think they took the safe and easy way out knowing they were saving taxpayers millions in the process. Once they determined they had all the information they were going to get or need....well, might as well move up his execution about 15 years.
He also claimed to have a bomb, so that was probably also a big factor (hoping the robot bomb would destroy any bombs he had).
I'm not exactly at ease with it. On the other hand, they obviously have had this ability for some time if they so choose. The optics aren't good, ever....but you know this guy is getting the death penalty so screw it.
