Bulletproof backpacks and American Paranoia

After various school shooting accidents including Columbine's, two fathers came up with an idea of using a bulletproof material inside backpacks. "Are you kidding me?", would say the rest of the world. However, for North American environment, especially United States with their open minded gun control policies, this seems to be normal. Living in Canada for the last nine years I understand that this might be a very useful invention and a great business case for the two "worrying fathers". I would not be surprised if bulletproof backpacks will become popular among students in the next ten years.
