Whiteboards: But Can They Stop a Speeding Bullet?
According to a story at smartplanet.com, a newly developed handheld whiteboard has been shown to stop a bullet if held in front of the body like a shield. Originally developed by the Department of Defense, this version was developed in response to the Newtown massacre. Ninety of these boards (at a cost of $300 each) have been donated to the school the deverloper's children attend. They also come in clipboard size. How soon they are coming to a school near you is up to local ed boards. http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/bulletin/the-result-of-the-newtown-shooting-bulletproof-white-boards/11059?tag=nl.e660&s_cid=e660
