Force Field

Now that we're deep in boob territory, is it too late in the thread for more news-type stuff?

"Aircraft and military manufacturer Boeing has been granted a patent on a system that is designed to prevent explosion shockwaves from harming a target.... not designed to prevent direct impact from shells or shrapnel; rather, it is designed to protect a target -- such as a vehicle or building -- from the damaging effects of shockwaves from a nearby impact."

[I imagine there are good peacetime uses for such technology as well!]
