Ready-Made Terrorist Supplies »
While I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this articulated hard-shell backpack to be pretty sweet (after all, what is cooler than a mongo-sized roly-poly bug?), am I the only one who also sees it as a ready-made terrorist dream come true? I mean come on - rip out the inner lining, pack it with explosives of some sort or another, then chain the thing to a post of some kind and let it rip.
They even give a (presumably unintentional) example of such a use on their web site, with the pack wrapped securely around a column of some kind!
I have no idea just how hard the shell is, but it seems that anything designed as "anti-theft" would use a hard enough material to prevent casual removal. And if that is the case, how will well-intentioned lifesavers remove the thing? Bring in the jaws of life, so that they can dig into a wad of explosives wrapped around a telephone pole?
