THE GUY WHO FOUNDED HALIBURTON WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ALUMINUM CASE THAT IS ALWAYS WITH THE PRESIDENT
Erie P. Haliburton was the founder of the infamous Haliburton Corporation (infamous because of Cheney's & "W"'s war in Iraq.) Mr. Haliburton needed a sturdy case to protect equipment while travelling on the rough rutted oil field roads. Supposedly, no other piece of luggage could put up with the strain of travelling on the dirt roads.
A HALIBURTON CORPORATE LIE?
Haliburton Luggage was purchased by a company named Zero Corporation. The new company changed its name to Zero Haliburton. Even though the current luggage company has no relation to the infamous Haliburton Corporation, the Erie P. Haliburton ancestoral roots are still attached to the infamous brief case.
The most famous user of the case is the President of the U.S.

SURPRISINGLY, THE POPULAR HOWIE MANDEL GAME SHOW, DEAL OR NO DEAL USED A COMPETITOR'S BRAND OF ALUMINUM CASE.
Posted below is a 1948 advertisement for the sleek and futuristic Haliburton briefcase.
THE 1948 CASE LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2011 CASE, WHICH IS SHOWN BELOW.
The aluminum cases are close to impenetrable without the combination or the key. In reality, the case is not 100% aluminum. It is made from a product called texalium, which is similar to carbon fiber in its strength, and in its light weight. The final product is power coated with aluminum.
