Victorinox Launches New James Bond-Style Secure USB Drive

Victorinox has been making famous knives for years (what would MacGyver have been without his—a dude with a mullet?) but now they’ve stepped into the world of high technology with their Secure USB drive/knife combo.  You can get yours for just $150.00.

But that’s not all.  The Victorinox Secure is also a fully functional knife—would the Swiss have it any other way?  It also has a built-in ultra-bright LED flashlight and a class II laser pointer! That $150.00 price tag isn’t looking so bad now, is it?  You can bet if they reboot the MacGyver franchise, he’s going to have on e of these next generation Swiss Army knives in his pocket.  The only problem I can foresee with this device is that it’s not ever going to pass TSB checkpoints at the airport.
