I threw my bottle in what I thought was a trashcan outside Gilette today. Security informed me this was in fact a bomb detector and wasn’t for garbage. I informed security I wasn’t the first to make this mistake.
Security then asked you nicely to lie down on the ground and put your hands behind your back. You informed security you would not be complying. Security informed you that your compliance was not necessary.
Mistral Security’s BCRs can be found in airports, bus and train stations as well as high-traffic tourist areas worldwide. BCRs provide 360° lateral protection against fragmentation and blast pressure and are utilized as a regular trash can in public areas.
It basically is a bombproof trash bin.
I guess in the scenario someone tries to hide a bomb in a trash and detonate it, people would be protected from metal fragments.

This is (well it looks like) a Blast Containment Receptacle (BCR) made by Mistral Security (identified by the label on the side).
