An attempt was just made on Trump's life. As so many other attempts against so many people the method would have been a gun and the location a speech.
I think it should be possible for a very short range radar packed inside the bottom half of a podium to scan the area in front of it, say zero to twenty
meters out. If a bullet (or even a shock wave, if there were an explosion) were incoming explosive charges could propel a set of shields out in the shape of flower pedals protecting whoever were behind it.

The claim appears to be unsupported by evidence (the
naughty person in the audience had no weapon). Shall we
assume Trump staged it to try to gain sympathy votes? |
|
| |
No, because he doesn't need sympathy from his supporters and would never get it from his detractors. Also, there's not much sympathy to be had from some doofus shouting "gun" when there isn't one. |
|
| |
So assuming 1500 m/s incoming velocity, if the
projectile is detected at 20 m, there would be only
13ms left to deploy the shields. Assuming the
peddles need to move 1 m, they would need to be
moving at 77m/s, or more likely accelerating during
that time to reach a maximum speed of 150m/s. |

Note to self: do NOT lean forward over the podium. |
