Interceptor Vs Dragonskin

The controversy continues. While Interceptor isn't perfect, Pinnacle's claims that Dragonskin was NIJ certified (even before it was) kept the arguement alive that the Army was just being putzes. While I can recognize that (ie the choice of ACU's for the new camouflage in comparison to something that works), Dragonskin seemed just to hyped up for me to believe the claims.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ANNOUNCES FINDINGS ON DRAGON SKIN BODY ARMOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) announced today that it has determined that the Pinnacle Armor, Inc. bulletproof vest model SOV 2000.1/MIL3AF01, is not in compliance with the requirements of OJP's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) voluntary compliance testing program for bullet-resistant body armor. Effective immediately, this body armor model will be removed from the NIJ list of bullet-resistant body armor models that satisfy its requirements. Pinnacle Armor, Inc. is the maker of "dragon skin" body armor.

NIJ, OJP's research, development, and evaluation component, has reviewed evidence provided by the body armor manufacturer and has determined that the evidence is insufficient to demonstrate that the body armor model will maintain its ballistic performance over its six-year declared warranty period.

I'ld like to see the Aug 20th testing but there don't seem to be any links to it on the sites.
