Couple decades ago when I moved to the U.S., I learned about this =20
practice during hurricane season... and did it.  However, I later =20
questioned it and researched, and found out that the tape isn't there =20
to stop the window breaking, but rather to keep shards flying =20
everywhere if/when it does break.  Makes far more sense to me, though =20
I would think that that would still require far more tape to be =20
noticeably effective.  I really can't see a few stripes of masking =20
tape doing much to stop shards flying, and thinking that perhaps =20
window tint (would be far more effective at that).
