Re: Armored passenger cars in Pakistan.
^ Not sure I understand this. Import of any vehicle is by permission, anyway, practically speaking. Whats special about armored cars?
Is the government worried that people will be safe from bullets, so the cars should not be common-place?
Again practically speaking, anyone who can afford an armored car, or has any need for one, is least likely to be bothered about getting permission from the government. Our government is very flexible to meet the demands of rich and powerful people. Unless, ofcourse, the rich and powerful people belong to the opposition political party (with no chance of coming to power) in which case, all kinds of problems can be expected even for legitimate businesses.
