GPS Coke Can can obtained and X-rayed

Remember the Coke can that's been disrupting Army and government operations all over? The one that's got the cellphone/GPS transponder inside that allows you to collect on a new Chevy SUV? The one you damn near gave yourself diabetes trying to find, not even because of the prize but because, come on, look at it! Yeah, that one. Well, lucky lucky, someone got their hands on one and had it dissected and exposéd via X-ray. They were even thoughtful enough to compare it side-by-side with an improvised explosive device (IED), which is what everyone was so concerned about (just not us). And don't even pretend like you're not curious, because we know you are. (Warning: PDF link)
