Thanks for sharing.</div><div>I've been personally involved in the design, installation and testing of several security perimeter intrusion barriers and other security projects and unfortunately they don't help the average Joe or Abdullah . They works great if you are a pencil dick sitting behind a desk in a embassy or another armored building 100 meters from point of impact....notice the Mercedes wasn't 'packing'....if it had been packing lets say 20,000 bombs of high explosive...nothing sophisticated just daisy chained 155mm shells or 122 mm rockets or whatever fertilizer they could sheeit out it would be a different kind of demonstration if you know what I mean ;-)></div><div><br></div><div>The biggest risk just about anyplace in the Middle
East is still needing to be on any road at any time with unarmored vehicles like we in convoy with security or even if you are in armored vehicles where Taliban has set IED's every single night people are still going to get fokked up.....they've set reinforced K-rail around public suq or markets and the best security meassures have helped but then shoppers stop going to town. And the barriers won't stop suicide bombers with vests walking into pretty much where ever they want to travel. </div><div><br></div><div>Headed back to LA via Dubai on Thursday.<br> </div><div><strong><font color="#0000ff"><em>Mad Dawg Antenucci <br></em></font><font color="#ff0000">Team Pantera Racing</font></strong> </div> <div><em><strong>The 1st & still the only vintage race team in open road racing <br></strong></em><font color="#0000ff"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
