with Christmas time nearly here...wrapping presents....ect.
I'm sure allot of you have thought
about our service men over in IRAQ
getting killed by roadside bombs...
well i sure have... as very few are being
shot ... anyway since i read allot of technical
stuff...when i just read this artical about BLAST wrap

a bomb proof material made from volcanic glass

it only costs 16 bucks per square foot or 512 dollars
for a 4x 8 sheet... assuming of course that it comes
in that size.. but compared to the cost of the privately
supplied bullet proof vests it's cheap and it works
and can protect personell in most vehicles.
i am going to start e-mailing every official i can
to get more recognition in the media....even though
the military is taking notice... BLASTWRAP can save their lives.
