“The world’s safest bag” was borne out of a traveling nightmare
AUSTRALIANS MAGNUS MCGLASHAN and Rob Schlepper met on a Carribean cruise back in 1989. McGlashan was just finishing a business and marketing degree while Schlepper, an engineer, was in the middle of developing technology to prevent bags from being slashed and stolen from.
