Back To School With Bulletproof Backpacks August 17, 2007

Time to check your kids back to school list: new books, uniform, gym kit, pencil case, bad haircut, healthy lunch, bulletproof backpack. Huh?
A couple of Boston fathers have decided that you can’t be too careful about going to school these days in the US so have created a couple of bulletproof backpacks. The MyChild backpack will stop most bullets, including 9mm hollow points, the makers claim.
It sounds mad but they say that since 1999 there have been 328 school shootings, leaving 229 dead and 422 injured.

That comment above is genius, gotta be american.
whatatool.
It's a good idea and people (Americans) will probably buy it, even though it is a little bit over the top for school.
Haha, great closing statement from the guy in the video. Total prey on paranoia of course. Plus unless your kid wears it over their head it hardly is going to stop the psycho double tapping them in the brain case.
Can't knock people for preying on others though, or can you?
America, the most powerful country in the world with the weakest minded population.
Haha no im not American. My comment was suppose to be satire of how drummed up fear is also of used in the private sector - how it obviously will work on the dim American public.
Apologies for not being very clear.
You reap what you sow; a lesson lost on society and the world in general.
The problem is that you'll probably get some nutter kids who try and test the bulletproof theory!
