Larry,

Thanks for the article. This brings to mind the old saying, "necessity is the mother of invention." I read something the other day that stated the majority (90%?) of U.S. combat fatalities in Iraq are from IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices). The sooner we can effectively deal with these threats, the better.

- I like your idea of permanent inflation - Tom Brosz - 11/8/2004 10:19:40 PM
  - In that case, it would need to be bulletproof, too. - alcaray - 11/8/2004 11:21:39 PM
    - Not if it worked like a hovercraft skirt does - Tom Brosz - 11/9/2004 1:20:28 AM
