Why Doesn't Starfleet Utilize Protection?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Keep in mind that a phaser set at maximum can reduce several feet of solid rock to glowing embers, I doubt there's much you can do against that, short of a portable shield generator. As for protection against stun setting; exactly how many engagements have we seen where ANYONE other than Starfleet has gone into combat with phasers on stun? However, there have been examples of "armour" in use. The Starfleet security guards in the movies are seen wearing large chest pieces and sometimes helmets too. In ST:V the "Federation Soldiers" were equipped with what looked like riot shields and the Starfleet Tactical Soldiers seen on DS9 have what look like a heavy duty uniform, so it could be made of some exotic, layered material that offers more protection than it might appear. The holy grail of armour, after all is something that as strong as a metal plate but light and flexible as cotton. Given that it is science fiction, just because the actor's costumes are made of polyester and cotton, doesn't mean the character's uniforms are. [/QB][/QUOTE]
