I've got a great wearable already that works for self defense. Its made
by Sturm, Ruger, & Co. It provides the ultimate in security interaction,
10 rounds of pure 9 mm protection.... he he. Of course, Rodney King is
hardly an example of a law abiding citizen protecting himself... The
problem with relying on wearable computers to protect yourself against
thugs or legal thugs (cops) is that the new emp and taser devices are
pretty effective at wiping your system out. Steel, titanium, and lead
are not nearly as vulnerable....
