SO? I never said they did. However, I guess they are “profiling,” but their thefts have gone down - that is probably coincidence.

I doubt it is.

At ease.

Didn't mean to challenge anything you'd written. Just sort of a stream of consciousness thing on my part.

I never said that some thugs/thieves don't wear them, many, maybe most, do. Just not all.

You can't let profiling, which does work, lull you into thinking that someone who does not fit the profile is "not a problem". The bad guys understand profiling too. Well the smarter ones do. :)

I agree. Thanks for conversation. I didn't mean to sound confrontational I have been dealing with our US Government for the last two weeks (OSHA) - so I am a little edgy! LOL!

You're a little edgy? I've been unemployed for 15 months, thanks to The Won's military policies, I'm nothing but edge.

Thanks, I don’t even care so much about “meaningful” anymore...

Well, I really do. I feel like I’ve got one more good weapon or other military system in me. At least one. I really like the idea that things I’ve designed or otherwise worked on are out there in field, helping keep our men and women safer than they otherwise would be. Or being used to train the troops who are taking it to the enemy.
