Interesting. Very interesting.

Just what does this thing demonstrate?

Just what does this thing demonstrate?

I'm now thinking the suitcase has nothing to do with explosives, but that its owner added the M112 reference as a humorous Easter egg to be found by folks clicking the thumbnail he provided in his blog post. The little yellow-on-gray strip looks out of place next to the magnetic latch and under the lid (the purpose of the magnetic latch is to hold the lid in place over the electronics — the case itself has its own latches). Perhaps he photoshopped it. Perhaps he got it off a real M112 he somehow had access to.

The blogger, Thomas Hartman, did work for Novell in 2007 as their Global Strategic Partner Executive. Among those strategic partners was Honeywell. And his blog post was about a trip to a Honeywell event in Europe.

Exactly what the suitcase is supposed to do is unclear. However, building security and management is among their product lines, so perhaps it has to do with that.

I couldn't find anything about a Honeywell controlled-demolition product. So, so much for that theory. Speaking of demolitions, there was good one in Irving a few years ago. Here's how it looked from the inside:

And from the outside:

I wonder if little Ahmed was among the spectators.
