kbarger asked about this slurry of 'out of control' trucks. It is a solution to a problem I just don't comprehend. For example, it would be useless against a truck intending on blowing up a bridge because you don't know about the truck until it is too late. Want to stop the truck? Nail strips to blow out the tires. Bullet in the radiator. I can appreciate the technology, but it appears to be a solution in search of a problem.

Those 3M dust filter masked came about by the same method. They also were a solution that searched long for a problem before the need for dust masks was realized. But I just don't see 'wild trucks' as a problem that requires complete refitting of all trucks.
