Abstract: A system for securely transporting valuables enclosed in a container which responds to attempted tampering by damaging said valuables and is provided with internal control means operating as a limited-mode machine that may include at least some of the elements of a series consisting of a user such as a dispatcher, a recipient or an escort, a container, and a single remote host capable of communicating with the internal control means of said container, at least at the time of departure. The elements are interconnected via a single terminal to form a star network of stations with said station at the center. The system is characterized in that the station of at least one recipient is not a resident station but a mobile and portable station.
