Bombproof trash cans: Design goes antiterrorist

Article links: Bombproof trash cans: Design goes antiterrorist

This article is about a company in London who have come up with bomb proof garbage cans/rubbish bins. According to the article:

The new bin is designed to absorb the heat of explosives and prevent the spread of shrapnel using "blast intelligent technology".
And in its new guise the bin will not only protect and collect, it will also keep passers-by up to date. Each will be fitted with the latest electronic technology, providing a stream of news and travel information on LCD screens.

I think it's great that trash cans are being put back on the streets of London, because according to the article, "London has been removing trash cans since 1991 in response to IRA attacks." Hopefully, though, one day, we won't need to come up with ways to bomb proof things.
