Abstract

A hardened telescoping load carrying device includes a plurality of telescoping container sections with interlocking edges and a door with interlocking edges. The telescoping sections are loaded with baggage one at a time and then extended outwardly. The interlocking edges on the telescoping sections interlock when the device is in the fully extended configuration. The interlocking edges on the telescoping sections and on the door engage with increasing force in the event of an explosion within the device.
