Could this Pentagon Armor Ban get guys killed?

For some strange reason the Pentagon is banning privately bought body armor.

Army officials told The Associated Press that the order was prompted by concerns that soldiers or their families were buying inadequate or untested commercial armor from private companies — including the popular Dragon Skin gear made by California-based Pinnacle Armor.

Like these companies are profiteers or something who are taking lightly the job of protecting our men and women in Iraq. I have a feeling that companies like Pinnacle test the crap out of their armor since they know it is at the core of what their company does. If the company didn't do adequate testing then the Pentagon should come down hard on them through a court of law.

Or the Pentagon could just buy a bunch of sets of full armor from the store or the internet and independently test them. I think Dateline or the Mythbusters should just go ahead and do this and not wait for the slow-assed Pentagon to wait for Pinnacle to send them armor before they can do something.
