I was reading CSO magazine the other day (Corporate Security Officer) and came across a fascinating new security product for executives who transport highly confidential company documents.  A pharmaceutical issued a high security briefcase for its research executives.  The briefcase has two security modes.  The “Loss Proof” function alerts the executive with an alarm signal when he is more than five meters away from the case.  This is to not only discourage someone from lifting the case, but prevents the owner from leaving the case incidentally unattended. 

The “Robbery Proof” mode is designed so that if the owner is accosted and forced to give up the case, the case will wait until the briefcase is more than 100 meters away and then send a 30,000 volt shock throughout the case as well as sound an ear shattering alarm.  Click here to check out a similar case.
