Thank God, bulletproof devices are no longer the exclusive preserve of policemen in hot pursuit of deadly criminals brandishing lethal weapons.
Bulletproofing Kids & Teachers
Now precious tiny tots in schools and their priceless teachers can also buy bulletproof products that can stop a bullet fired from a 9 mm to a .44 mag round at point-blank range.
Cleveland, Ohio based Impact Armor Technologies has introduced a school safety line comprising of a bulletproof desktop calendar, a bulletproof whiteboard and a bulletproof backpack insert to stop bullets at point-blank range.
Apparently, these products for school children and their teachers are built from the same composite material as the company’s bulletproof clipboards used by cops to protect themselves on the streets and the door inserts that soldiers on the battlefield use for protection against IED roadside explosive devices.
Bulletproof products for kids and teachers come in standard sizes but they can also be custom made as per your specifications.
God Bless America!

Got any friends in Boston? I hope they’re doing okay.
I heard from my relative out there that it seems like a normal day other than the crime scene and the hospitals.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No friends in Boston.
Indian newspaper headlines speculate that it could be a local whacko this time – http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Boston-bombing-Finger-of-suspicion-points-to-domestic-terror/articleshow/19581805.cms
Looks like not a local whacko, after all. Chechens…they say.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
OMG, after seeing their pictures a few hours back I thought they were Chechens!
I narrowed it to Chechens and Pakis and decided since they were so fair they had to be Chechens!
Good guess! 😉
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I was up for much of the night and kept checking AP, NYT and the FBI site.
See the pictures on the FBI site – http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston
They don’t look like local Whites, especially Suspect 2. It was Suspect 2 that led me to believe it could be Chechens!
After returning from Oblivion, I read about the murderous attack on the MIT cop and found it odd. Then came the news of the link between the MIT shooting and the two suspects.
I couldn’t guess Suspect one.
But the second one didn’t look local to me at all.
I am kinda too distracted with the live coverage ATM. My relative lives in Watertown 🙁
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Did you try calling your relative?
Watertown is completely under lockdown!
And for all we know, the bird might have flown the Watertown coop since he was in the Mercedes SUV.
I just saw snipers on roofs of suburban homes on TV.
I did. They think he could be anywhere. Cops had been walking out their back yards all night.
I heard they’re asked not to even pop their heads out the window.
News confirms he SHOULD be in Watertown. It’s just one guy!
Oh well…my relatives are having coffee and cereal.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
At least, they’re fine and got a paid holiday!
I am knocking on wood. 🙂
SearchIndia.com Responds:
FBI now has a better picture of the suspect on the run – http://www.fbi.gov/news/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston/updates-on-investigation-into-multiple-explosions-in-boston
What grudge might Chechens possibly hold against this country?
Got any theory?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Sweetie, I have a theory for everything. 😉
In this instance, my favorite Boston political scientist (guess who??) put it so well in his theory called Clash of Civilizations!
I guess he is the reincarnation of Nostradamus.
Wonder if Samuel Huntington ever had “Dum Biryani”.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I don’t think there are any Dum Biryani outlets in Martha’s Vineyard!
He probably had Bhel Puri and Vada Paav during his visit to Mumbai a few years back.

SearchIndia.com Responds:
Depressing to read! 🙁
Similar to what happened in Tamil Nadu to a police inspector a few years back! – http://www.searchindia.com/2010/01/08/incredible-india-40-pigs-watch-as-cop-bleeds-dies
The fact that a company thinks there is money in making bullet proof products for kids and regular people is a depressing news.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Try telling that to the NRA! 🙁
NRA is a vested interest group and there will be no outcome in reasoning with vested interest groups.
What we should rue is the collective strength of bigots and pussies in decision making positions.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: NRA is a vested interest group ….collective strength of bigots and pussies
All policy making/legislation by Congress is done at the behest of one vested interest group or another.
We euphemistically call them lobbyists.
Any public benefit frm legislation is accidental.
