Nothing, just like whipping out your gun/knife and engaging right off the bat does not insure the expected outcome either. The point of giving up the goodies is that it gives the best chance that nothing particularly untoward will occur, and is probably the least costly in the long run. And as mentioned, if it doesn't work you still have the option of escalating the response. Lots of upside, very little downside.Next, what's to say that giving up your items will have the expected outcome.
