A Good Idea? I Think So

After Columbine, Virginia Tech and a myriad of other schools, a couple of guys have come up with what I think is an excellent idea. They have developed a bullet-proof backpack. The insert weighs about 20 oz - about the same as a water bottle, and there's nothing marking it as being any different from any other pack. You wouldn't necessarily have to tell your child about it, but that would seem to defeat the purpose. The child would just hold the pack in front of themselves.

The panel is slightly better than a Police vest, and they have tested it against knives but it has not been lab tested against them.

I didn't catch the name of the company making them, but the cost is $175.00. They may be worth doing a search on.

What is the life of your child worth? And as we've seen, any school in any area is vulnerable - from pre-school to university.
