I actually thought of that "song" (that's a generous description) when I posted.
I remember passing through airport security in Ohio in the early 1980's. A screener at the gate checked my Halliburton briefcase, and then told me "Good luck on your buy-bust, Detective Crockett".You know, I never gave it any thought...but maybe. In any case, I ended up with a bunch. They were great for hauling seized drugs and money.
ETA: The only guys I saw with Halliburton cases were usually agents.
(Never owned one myself, but I'm not a briefcase guy...except for the nice ballistic nylon one I got for court that could take kevlar panels.)
About the only witty comeback I had, was offering to pay ten bucks for a Sudafed. I was dreading going on an airplane trip with a sinus headache. That was a very miserable trip.
The case was a gift from a lady friend who swooned over Don Johnson.
I still carry the Zero Halliburton attache I bought in 1989, and it still draws comments. My usual response to a comment is something like, "Well, the nuclear football has to be safe". The attache has been with me to every continent but Antarctica and has been everywhere from boardrooms to factory floors. It actually makes a great improvised seat.
Guns and bags are nothing new. I remember watching a documentary about Miami in the 80's, I think it was Cocaine Cowboys but it might have been a different one, where a Colombian hitman pulled an Uzi from a bag in a restaurant and smoked some dudes.
In my area, AR pistols seem to be the 2020 equivalent of the Glock with the 30+ round magazines as the miscreant's gun of choice. I asked around and others are seeing the same thing.
The good news is that they don't come with sights as a factory option and the users don't tend to add them. Of course, that didn't stop a local homicide that involved a head shot at 20ish yards which the victim was running away.

what's the street name for it?
AR/AR variants are generally known as "Choppa's" or "Choppers."
I thought AKs were choppers?

ok, I knew thats what AKs were called, but I figured an AR would have a different moniker, like "two two trey" or sumfin
