Hostage rescue: how would you do it?

[sagacious]

So, I was playing Modern warfare 2, and my brain, being my brain, did what it does best and traveled on an thought path which started of tangental to the task at hand, but quickly dashed and weaved it's way through the flickering lights of my thoughts and experiences until I was thinking about something that had absolutely no relation to what I was doing.

And that something is: If you had to rescue a hostage from a house without harming the hostage, and you had infinite resources, how would you do it?

Personally, I would gather the finest ant trainers in the world to make a T-1000 out of fireants, then send it back in time to kill the parents of the hostage takers before their children could be born. Just in case that failed, I would probably use nanomachines to put poison into the bottom of the hostage taker's coffee bags. two weeks of coffee-drinking later, and they wouldn't know what had hit them.

Umm I would use all those resource to build a transporter beam and beam then out! (is that cheating? )

A nuke. What? It's tactical!

 

[dududf]

Easy.

1) I'd make a statis gun, and put the entire house in statis, walk inside, shoot the criminal in the face. Done.

2)
develop smart auto adjusting bullets, I'd then fire upwards and watch as the bullet goes through the chimney and then into the criminals brain.

3) I'd geneticly modify myself, and make it so I can move any part of my body at FTL (insert sex joke) I'd then punch through a wall and decapitate the bad guy.

or
4) Change my name to Neo, walk in, play weird music, slowly bend backwards with a pistol in hand, and shoot the criminal in the face.

5) Bend the bullet. Done.

I had thought of this, too direct, makes too much sense, they'd see it coming.

It'd have to be a very, [small]very,[/small] small nuke, but it could work!

Spook the captors until they kill the hostages, then just Napalm the place.

What?! You said I couldn't harm them, you said nothing of the Captors harming them.

Okay then I build a starship to hover above hmm.....Pluto and lock onto the hostage a ZZZZMMMMMM later they are just fine and another ZZZZZMMMMM later I transport a armed Nuke after the hostages are gone

step 1- stop time (or at least slow it down enough that there's no appreciable difference)
step 2- slap the hostage takers
step 3- restart time
step 4- laugh as the hostage taker's heads explode from being hit at nearly the speed of light

I would just give the hostage holder what he wants

I have infinite resources

Loop holes, FTW

What if they want the hostage?
Loop holes, FTW indeed.

As long as you are using loopholes, why not ignore the captors and use the infinite resources to hoard Legos and Nerf stuff?

Snipers. Lots of snipers.

"3.2.1. Terminate Hostiles. *pew*"

Hostages freed, And slightly confused as to why the hostages have just died.

 

[Xerxes250]

slowly release gaseous LSD into the house. Then send in a swat team with gasmasks on to grab the takers and the hostages while they're busy staring at the walls.

I tip my hat to you.

Because I would have no one to play with!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Probably like a spy. I'm the kind of guy who likes to hide in the shadows and would take out the terrorists one by one with a silenced pistol and then go grab the hosties.

So you can't pull hot chicks that love Nerf and Legos from your Infinite resource bag? That's not a Limitless, infinite amount of resources, The Op lied!

I just need body armor (with helmet) and an M4 and as long as it takes place in an office, i'm set.
