English term or phrase: WEAR KEVLAR
All right. Either way buys us some
time. And I don’t like having my
telephone calls dodged. So
I’m gonna see which reporter wants to

querer se arriscar
Explanation:
Tania, se for o contexto comentado acima, então talvez fique bom assim:
Então, vou ver qual repórter vai querer se arriscar, vai ser corajoso de publicar a bomba, vai querer andar por aí de coleta à prova de bala, algo assim.
Não creio que o texto se refira literalmente ao colete, mas sim de um repórter ser corajoso o suficiente para publicar algo melindroso.

wear kevlar
colete à prova de bala


Explanation:
Veja as definições abaixo. Kevlar é utilizado para outros tipos de roupas de protecção (i.e. blusões para andar de mota, etc), mas neste contexto, "colete à prova de bala" parece a tradução mais adequada.

N.B. Note o género da expressão. Neste contexto, "bala" é geralmente utilizado no singular.
