This would increase the shoppers safety while maintaining the work forces accessibility. A numerous installment of some physical feature can either help put an end to or tone down the amount of bombings on buildings. These installments can help control the effect a bomb has on a building. "Ordinary windows can be replaced with thick, blast-resistant glass, or coated with shatter-dampening plastic film. Vents, valves, or "blow-out" panels can be installed throughout the building to alleviate pressure from an internal blast (Nadis, Steve, pg. 58)."
