Big Green: Uses for used Bulletproof Windshields?

[Matt de la Houssaye]

Dear Big Green,

Does anyone know what a potential re-use would be for
bulletproof windshields? I'm thinking the construction
industry might use this products "as is" if a creative
re-use were found.

Any thoughts? 

best,

Matt
