Bulletproof This!



Washington is investigating a company called Second Chance Body Armor who manufactures bulletproof vests for prominent citizens including the President of the United States. It seems as though their product was faulty, as the vests tended to deteriorate and malfunction when repeatedly exposed to light, moisture and heat. Also, Federal investigators are looking into whether the company concealed the defects even as it sold vests to the government and police agencies.

So let me get this straight. A morally questionable administration puts a large number of people in harm's way and then tries to cover up its ineptitude. Hmmm, where I have heard this story before? It's on the tip of my tongue.
