What are ballistic suitcases?

For a small fee (in the neighborhood of $700) you can now purchase what's called a Ballistic Suitcase. This is simply a suitcase with an aluminum camo exterior and ballistic lining to absorb impacts and resist potential explosions. A standard Ballistic Suitcase, as described by its manufacturer, "can handle direct fire from most handguns or high-power rifles for as long as necessary to escape unharmed." Construction of one of these suitcases is surprisingly simple.
