Bodyguard Blanket, Bulletproof School Safety Product
A controversial new product called the "Bodyguard Blanket" is marketed to schools as protection against both tornadoes and active shooters. The $1,000 bulletproof pad is criticized by the hosts as being impractical and potentially making children "sitting ducks" during an attack. The marketing campaign is highlighted for its use of fear to sell expensive safety gear.
