One of the Applications of GLARE®: The ECOS3 Secure Luggage Container The FAA conducted explosive tests of the ECOS3 using more explosives than what was used by the terrorists on Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988.  The result of the test proved that using ECOS3 would have contained the blast with no damage to the aircraft.  If you would like a free video on CD of the successful FAA explosion tests of the ECOS3, please contact QPI.
