Counter terrorism is a £3.5 billion industry in the UK alone . We went to the industry’s biggest tradeshow to find out what you could buy – and found some weird stuff.
The Counter Terror Expo is the UK's largest buyers' fair for products designed to keep people safe from terrorist threats.
More than 9,500 buyers, exhibitors and counter-terrorism experts are in London for the two-day event that began on Tuesday at the Olympia Exhibition Centre.
Since 9/11 this has grown into an industry worth £3.5 billion-a-year according to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee. This expo has doubled its attendees since 2009, with interest building up before the 2012 Olympics in London.
And there are no shortage of people selling things to help combat against attacks against companies, governments or individuals.
