Body Armor for School Kids

This report piggybacks nicely with a recent story that bulletproof book bags are now available.

A BRITISH company is offering to provide stab-proof school uniforms, lined with the same material used by soldiers, to parents worried about knife crime among youngsters.

BladeRunner, a company based in Romford, east of London, has added the Kevlar-lined uniforms to a range of clothing that also includes knife-resistant hooded tops, T-shirts and gloves.

The stab-proof uniform costs $311. The book bags go for $175. Sooner or later, I expect that taxpayers will be asked to pay for these items.
