Bullet-proof clothing? Hmm interesting concept and all but no matter what... it still won't stop a bullet to the skull. Just ask President Kennedy.... ok bad example.
So are they going to make these clothes for uniforms of LEO's and American Soldiers... they're expensive yes... but DUH... how much is a police officer's life worth? A firefighter? A soldier fighting for their country?
Hmm what if both sides wore bullet-proof clothing? Wow... what a way to end a war!
NOT!
The article (probably for obvious reasons) doesn't say up to what caliber the clothing can stop and at what range. Presumably small caliber bullets at say 20-50 feet would be ineffective or even at close range (i.e. Oswald, Wallace, Ford, Reagan). But I think stopping a .45 or higher caliber would be tough, and I am just covering hand-guns.
High powered rifles... now that would be something.

When newly inaugurated President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama stepped out of the presidential limo to stroll down the parade route amongst a throng of well-wishers, there was an assumed collective gasp of surprise for many who witnessed this. In truth, while this was indeed a bold gesture for the first African-American President of the United States, Mr. Obama was wearing special bulletproof clothing crafted by "high-security fashion tailor" Miguel Caballero.
