Modern US military body armor is actually quite an effective countermeasure against most bullets. Check the casualty statistics from recent conflicts.

Oh, yay, always looked forward to having everyone walk around in military grade body armor.

The point is that — contrary to what @roenxi asserted — effective countermeasures do exist for those who really need them. But the vast majority of us are at near zero risk of being shot today or attacked by drones in the future. No one cares enough about us to kill us. Let's not be paranoid.
