I had a strong urging to buy concealable body armor a couple days before this event, searched for any alternative setup that would suffice, be practical and not obvious.
Problem is what would TSA do if you went through security with it on? Even if it was the latest such as Dragonskin?
I still have options of buying outerwear such as a leather jacket that has some spectra or kevlar built in, gives some protection, like a level 1. I can travel with a motorcycle jacket thats designed to have elbow and shoulder protection, even back plastic plates.
Now that i’m thinking about this i do have kevlar scraps, spectra high test fishing line and urethane bed coating material, might just upgrade my riding jacket for that “just in case” moment, and avoid getting shot in the head. Situation awareness, all the time now.
How would fishing line and bed coating material be used? Just curious.
Just use Flex Steel. It works great on storm door boats!
TSA might let something like this through as opposed to actually wearing a vest:

Some parents are buying these for their kids at school ... at least ‘center mass’ can be covered.
