Carlos, I fail to see the problem. If one has money, one is at risk of
being kidnaped. Therefor, if one can afford a bulletproof car and the
other technologies, why would one *not* buy such things? Under these
circs, if one does not take all available precautions, one is partly
responsible for ones own fate. What they really need is some means
of firing back at those doing the shooting, not just bulletproof cars. spike
