Remember that desktop self-destruct button I told you about a while back? Now you can carry a portable version, right there on your cell phone.

This mini self-destruct switch is the latest in a long line of odd things that Japanese people are hanging from their mobile phones. Under its plastic shield is a large red button that triggers a cacophony of sound and blinking lights, including a flashing LED and a loud “boom” when your time has expired. I only wish that it would make that high-pitched “fweeeeeeeee…” sound that all the explosive devices on 24 make before they blow up.

For some reason, I don’t think you should try to take one of these through the TSA security checkpoint. As long as you don’t plan on holding up the airport line in front of me, you can pick one up from Strapya-World for just under $11 bucks.
