Department of Defense Gadget Show

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bells-whistles-and-fingerprint-scanners dept.

blackp writes "DefenseLINK has an article about Force Protection Equipment Demonstration IV. This year they had over 2,600 gadget and equipment for defense and government agencies. The list includes kevlar suits, body heat camo, a RoBoCop Suit, even biometric identification. Some pictures are available, although somewhat limited. This show seems perfect for the geek with a big budget." Or the government with a big budget. Still, some neat things on display.

    /. should be ashamed of themselves for posting this story, geek appeal or not.

    How many Iraqi deaths has the current administration and the DOD been responsible for? Please don't give me the excuse that the Iraqi's were about to use WOMD against the US or UK - the idea is laughable. Iraq never even had WOMD - this should be one of the biggest scandals in the last 40 years, yet it is being covered up by the likes of Fox News.

    I'm sorry, I just thought that /. was a little more socially conscious than the posting of this article would indicate.

    Lets leave drooling over weapons to the bloodthirsty-likes of Donald Rumsfeld and Shrub, shall we?
