What a psychotically paranoid society we live in. I understand that safety must be taken.. but really, when was the last time a serious bomb exploded here that was set with malicious intentions? Yes, *you never know*, but then the same people who need a robot for safety from an incident that never occurs here, have no qualms about getting behind the wheel of a car, without a safety cage, even though car accidents are common.
