First, good on the young man.
Second, good on the MND for looking at it, maybe something that we might see down the line? (well, probably not before I get out).

RCMP snipers took aim at Darren Shulte's Grade 9 science project this week, firing at his non-ceramic bullet-proof plate to see if it could save lives.
Shulte, of St. Albert, Alta., created the plate five years ago for a junior high school science fair when he was just 13 years old.
Now, law enforcement officials are taking his invention seriously, with even Defence Minister Peter MacKay showing an interest.
"This is my life right now," Shulte told CTV Edmonton. "There isn't anything else."
The plate is designed to be worn inside a tactical vest by police and military personnel. Unlike other such plates, it isn't made from ceramic or Kevlar.
