*two guys working out nearby were interested in vest, one tried it on and got close to doing a pull-up and busted out a couple of dips with good form

*two more guys who I know at the hand ball court said whaddup and inquired about the vest

*get this, get home less than five minutes later and then two homeland security agents knock on my apartment door and further enquire about the vest. overall i'm glad they are doing their job and didn't put a bullet in my head and then searched. they suggest i wear a shirt over it and that any and all NYPD can stop me to question me about it.

*legal advisory you can't wear a bullet-proof vest in public unless you are authorized law enforcement

*need to do stairs tomorrow

yup

they told me its illegal to even wear a bullet-proof vest in public

also to cover it with another shirt on top, too hot to do that plus it would be even more conspicuous that way.

when they came over the examined the pockets (that hold the weights) to make sure they would be better served with search dogs or electronic detectors.
