During the presidential inauguration, I wondered (out loud, too) if Obama was wearing a bulletproof vest. The next day, Wired posted a story suggesting he was indeed wearing bullet-resistant clothing.
Here are two videos posted on VBS.tv in which host Ryan Duffy of The Vice Guide to Travel visits Bogota, Colombia to see how clothes like this work. While there and filming at Protección Personal Especializada, Miguel Caballero (aka the Armani of Armor) has him try on a jacket - and then shoots him from less than two feet away. Through the adrenalin overload, Ryan manages to laugh it off, then pockets the flattened bullet as a souvenir.
I am SO behind on this technology. Until as recently as today I thought my Scott eVest was cool!
Note to self, add a jacket to my birthday wishlist!
