"Safe Room" - Washington Post - 03.mar.03

Getting in a DC state of mind. Was reading the Washington Post yesterday. Came across an article about Zytech Engineering in Maryland. They make "safe rooms". Sort of a burial vault for the living. The phone booth like number in the picture goes for about $17,000. That will be your basic model. If you want secured ventilation and chemical filtration systems, cellular phones and flip-down seats, that will be more. Windows, gun ports and carpeting are also available options.

Expect to spend $50,000 for a nicely equipped family sized "room". When not in use, the room can be used for storage. Now, can't you just see that: the terrorist hit with mustard gas - or the Asian home invasion gang busts down your door - and you have to haul the Xmas decorations out of the "safe room" before you can get your sorry ass in the box. Hello?
