Abstract

The present invention provides a portable communication system with functional components whose functions are not readily apparent to an observer. One embodiment of the system includes a carrying case in which the antenna portion of the communication system is concealed between the shell of the case and an inner liner; a reflector to protect the radio portion of the system from electromagnetic radiation and direct electromagnetic radiation to or from the antenna that is covered so that it simulates the appearance of the file folder portion of a briefcase; and a radio that is covered with a shell upon which are mounted the keyboard and CRT of an actual personal computer or a simulation thereof, so that when the case is open, it appears to contain a laptop computer.
