The real point here is that the officer had been provided with some proper protective kit, i.e decent body armour. Maybe the MOD has learnt some lessons from incidents a few years ago when such kit wasn't readily available.

*ding* anyone?

Yeah very lucky guy indeed - I bet Gordon Brown has already initiated an urgent order for the same protective gear...
