I'm just now noticing that the handle retracted into the suitcase, trapping the "robber's" hand. Pretty cool. On the other hand, those prongs look like a good way to poke someone's eye out.

@Zerush was suitcase thievery a big problem in the 1960s?

The theft of suitcases is a problem since suitcases exist

Yeah... here in America if someone wants to steal your briefcase... they are probably going to shoot you first. At which point... there's not much point to the antics of booby trapping the briefcase because the thief has no time crunch.

(also why the standard security for super important briefcases in america is handcuffing it to your wrists. Because it's really hard to blend into a crowd dragging behind a dead 6'2 guy in a suit.

@OnishiMyers or we'll shoot him first, either way.
