World's a dangerous place, CJ. Even more reason for MST technology, lethal and non-lethal/less than lethal, to be commercialised, IMO.

As for Apple, at the time of the debt ceiling crisis, figures from the U.S. Treasury Department indicated that the government had "a total operating cash balance of $73.768 billion, less than Apple's own war chest of $75.876 billion.

"Apple reported having nearly $76 billion in cash on hand as of June 25, 2011, an increase of $10 billion from the previous quarter, when the company had $65.8 billion in cash reserves.

"Apple's war chest has grown quickly since 2005, when it had just $9 billion in reserves."

Enviable growth!
