PIG Tactical Gloves
Review via The Loadout Room:
I went through a lot of gloves before I found the PIG Full Dexterity Tactical gloves. When I first started, I right away rejected any gloves that included special plastic or kevlar molded knuckle guards. I figured that while shooting in competition or training, or even in use on the street, having a hunk of plastic banging around and adding to the thickness of my hand would hinder more than help. Stick to the basics. Very few of the gloves I tried out below the $50 price point did the basics well.

Gear Set Up Tips for Plate Carriers
Posted by Gary in Body Armor, Gear, Warrior Tools on 14/Mar/2012 10:27
Brian Hartman and Sean Hendickson from Progressive FORCE Concepts talk a little about where you should locate magazine pouches on your plate carrier kit. One potentially life saving tip is to position your pistol magazine pouches on your belt in the same way you’d wear them without your carrier. This means you’ll be consistent in locating your pistol mags under stress rather than hunting for where you located them on your vest.
Smartphones Leak Encryption
Posted by Brian in Gear, News, Threat Watch on 7/Mar/2012 19:26
Technology Review reports that an attacker my be able to pick up encryption keys from cellphones with a TV antenna:
The antenna was detecting radio signals “leaking” from the transistors on the chip inside the phone performing the encryption calculations. Transistors leak those signals when they are active, so the pattern of signals from a chip provides an eavesdropper a representation of the work the chip is doing. When Kenworthy tuned his equipment to look in the right place, a clear, regular pattern of peaks and troughs appeared on his computer screen. They could be seen to come in two varieties, large and small, directly corresponding to the string of digital 1s and 0s that make up the encryption key.
Web Links Could Compromise Your Smartphone
Technology Review reports that if you have a smartphone that runs a version of Android, be careful about the links you click:
A chilling demonstration to a small, packed room at the RSA security conference today showed how clicking a single bad Web link while using a phone running Google’s Android operating system could give an attacker full remote control of your phone.
