It may be a little silly for some citizen living in the suburbs, but I think some neighborhoods, like mine, could use an armor car. As a matter of fact, during the last two weeks of December, there were at least two carjacking happened in my town.

Iraq, is the first place that comes to mind here in the US. Former Iraqi intelligence are now using all the data gather on well-to-do Iraqis and have organized operation of kidnapping and demanding random for very specific amoung of money and assets.
