Gotta agree with Jeff here.  (GASP!)  If it was implemented on the code
level, say as an actor attribute/behaviour, it wouldn't be difficult to
do or hard on the processor.
But, that doesn't change the fact that the idea is uninspired.  The only
game I've seen where you capture an enemy is:  (Flashback time) Sid Meier's
Covert Action.  And we all know what that implementation was like.  The
grappling hook or the silencer I might be able to go for, but not capturing
people!  If you killed someone and they dropped a key, like the bosses back
in Wolfenstein, that would be OK.  However, I simply don't think your idea
would pan out.
