why would SS carry it into a restaurant?

Good question. My laptop bag is fat because the adaptor/charger is chunky, and the cord is long, so it takes up a lot of space when it’s looped. I have no other explanation. The bag just looks wrong, but technology changes, so maybe the football is now safe in a canvass bag with a polyester web strap, rather than the previous hard leather case.

I also don’t know what’s inside the football case. Is it a red phone with a direct line to the Pentagon and Kremlin? Is it a numeric panel that you type in numbers to launch the nukes? Both? I don’t much like the idea of the SS agent or something else falling on top of the soft sided bag and breaking the panel or phone. I sometimes overthink though.

The bag should have a bullet proof interior....even a 22 caliber can penetrate a leather bag and make a mess of the code device.
