Bomb-Proof Wallpaper Developed

Posted by samzenpus on from the radiation-shielding-curtains dept.

MikeChino writes "Working in partnership with the US Army Corp of Engineers, Berry Plastics has rolled out a new breed of bomb-proof wallpaper. Dubbed the X-Flex Blast Protection System, the wallpaper is so effective that a single layer can keep a wrecking ball from smashing through a brick wall, and a double layer can stop blunt objects (i.e. a flying 2×4) from knocking down drywall. According to its designers, covering an entire room takes less than an hour."

    I just have to love any product that will require a whole new type of work for the demolitions industry - wallpaper remover! Would the job title be Interior Undecorator, or Interior Dedecorator?

    But what happens when you put a roof on, and you set up the bomb?

    Well, that's obvious and it was explained all over the internet, several years ago.You have no chance to survive. Make your time.
