I would give creadence to that position, however I heard all this "the first time around" Local business owner who also teaches handgun classes started grumbling and encouraged people to stockpile. As of yet, nothing has come to fruition except an increase in the bottom lines of those making the noise. There may be cause for concern, but the cynic in me suggests alterior motives can also drive the message.

http://www.gizmag.com/sandia-self-guided-bullet/21286/ Quote:A group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have built a prototype of a small-caliber bullet capable of steering itself towards a laser-marked target located over a mile away (approx. 2,000 meters). The dart-like design has passed the initial testing stage, which included computer simulations as well as field-testing prototypes built from commercially available parts.

Barry's post got me thinking about the # of times I've traveled to western VA from my home in CT and didn't think twice about pulling into a unmanned rural rest stop at 2am, usually in PA or WV and sleeping several hours, sometimes with only 1, 2 or 3 other cars also parked. Upon reflection, certainly a perfect environment for the opportunist capitalizing on a vulnerable and unsuspecting traveler. I've largely given up late night travel, due to my lack of constitution and the large number of deer strikes that litter the side of the road, but it certainly is something for me to think about. -Thomas
