What's so special about an attaché case? It's just one of those leather briefcases with two latches, right?

  a normal leather "attache cache" is fine. the regulation says "Security-type attaché cases, cash boxes, cash bags, etc. incorporating dangerous goods, such as lithium batteries and/or pyrotechnic material, except as provided in 2.3.2.6 are totally forbidden. See entry in 4.2–List of Dangerous Goods." i.e. not a normal leather attache case.

    Ah ok, I wonder why they call it that then. I still don't know what a "security-type" is then. Is that one of those metal briefcases that criminals always pay each other with in the movies? Always full of dollar bills of course :) Cash boxes, I don't really see why they should be prohibited as long as the owner can open them for inspection. But anyway, it's not something I would bring anyway. And yeah the lithium is a long-standing problem of course.

      I mean this IS a handsome way to carry a load of hundred dollar bills https://www.rimowa.com/us/en/bags/attache/briefcase/90007010.html https://www.rimowa.com/us/en/bags/attache/briefcase/90007010... but you’ll just have to stuff them in the tumi when flying I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
