The first access is externally via a spring loaded side panel that is released by depressing a button release lock near the carrying handle. The second is while in an office or vehicle setting while the case rests on a desk, car seat or creden za. The briefcase functions in this environment as any other would but has a panel door, also spring loaded, that is released by depressing a button release lock on the top plane of the right work surface (panel door) of the interior.

This offers the user protection against aggressive behavior including but not limited to projectiles fired from firearms, knives, daggers, ice picks or any one of many offensive weapons aggressors use in attacking an individual.
