Tony Blair's new Jag

[baldrick]

Just a quick question

I read that tony blair has got a new jaguar car. On the features list it says that the Jag can resist a standard NATO hand-grenade.

Do terrorists use standard NATO hand-grenades now?

I would have thought that it would be easier to use a home-made grenade rather than going to the bother of stealing one of a military base.

Anyway, it's a false sense of security, because if you could get access to a military base, than why not steal two grenades, and tape them together.

I don't mean to give terrorists any ideas, but it is so obvious that it is a false sense of security, I am amazed.

There is no such thing as a bullet proof commodity car. Basically, custom secure cars like Blair's are designed to keep the passenger alive while the car flees an attack. Its hard to hit a moving car with an incendiary device.
