It's only a matter of time before some pissed off person mails a spammer a bomb instead of a check. In fact I'm surprised we haven't had something like this happen already./me crosses fingers, chanting "bomb em, bomb em, bomb em..."
All the Snowcrash quotes left out the best part about the armor: "A bullet will bounce off its arachno-fiber weave like a wren hitting a patio door."
Probably not applicable, but damn I love that line... I'm still laughing about it years later.
