Somebody set up us the USB Bomb
Okay, gentlemen, this USB flash data storage device designed by Joel Escalona is for your desktop, not your suitcase. Our Transportation Safety Administration officers won’t think this iconic trinket is very funny, no matter how many “all your base” jokes you crack in the security line.
Just remember, when you're at the airport, even joking about explosives — or even THINKING about explosives — is a punishable offense. So unless you’re into waterboarding, keep the USB Bomb at home on your desk, and not in your carry-on luggage. There's a time and place for everything.

In the first line of the post Charlie White the author said:
"Okay, gentlemen, this USB FLASH DATA STORAGE DEVICE designed by Joel Escalona is for your desktop,"
So my question is where was it unclear what this product does "Who Writes This Stuff?"

Interesting as a novelty product design, but probably a bitch to carry around. Why carry a big round thing when you can get a drive 4 times smaller?
What would be cool would be if the made the "bomb" into one of those balls you're supposed to squeeze to relax and keep yourself from punching the boss in the face.
