Yes, I'm actually asking. If anyone knows anyone who's either in the military and works in procurement or works for a supplier to the defense industry (particularly if they work for a small company, under 1000 employees, or if they do work in a "new" field like drones, cyberwarfare, etc) I'm very interested in chatting with them. Please let me know.

Kimina works for Insitu, doesn't check the forums much any more though.

P.S., reported to Homeland Security.

Yeah, I've had an interesting side project pick up speed vastly more successfully than I imagined. Curious to see how it turns out.

Nah, white's really not my color and those bomb pouches are hardly flattering.

You're supposed to wear them under your clothes Wrath. Pretty sure even the most poorly-trained and disgruntled TSA worker would pick up on a fanny pack filled with explosives.

Well, your suggested fashion plates posted above seem to have them on the outside. Seeing as how I'm a straight guy, picking out fashion styles isn't exactly a core competency of mine.

From the picture it looks like a parade, even a northern California weenie like you should understand the concept of struttin'.

Protip: Burqas aren't trendy. And you're probably 100x more likely to undergo police scrutiny if you wear one.

What? Suicide bombers don't typically approach their targets in full garb, with bombs on display, flags waving, and with a pack of their buddies? This surprises me.

Oh, I understand now. When you said you saw that in my future, you were subtley jabbing me for being a struttin' poseur.

Well I think someone with his eyes taped shut would be enough cause for alarm, except for maybe in those BDSM parades in San Fran. Then again:

Oh, that's tape over their eyes? I assumed it was mesh or something.

The whole "cover your eyes" deal might have worked for Luke Skywalker learning to use the force, but generally I think its a pretty bad idea in any sort of conflict.
