Bluesmart Suitcase, Designed By Argentines

Here's the story by way of La Nacion. The irony is that until recently you couldn't buy it here because of import restrictions.

this will get you arrested in Dallas. Particularly if you are not lily white.
 
Looks cool, sells for 400 USD, but its Amazon ratings are not so good: 54% rate is as poor to below average, 3% give it an average rating, and 43% rate it better than average. Apparently it has lots of shortcomings that may be addressed in the future.
 
Looks like they put a lot of gadgets in it but lack on the side of the features you really want... The recent carry-on luggage from kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/netta/g-ro-revolutionary-carry-on-luggage/description) seems to be way more practical imo.
 
I personally think these are CRAZY prices for carry-on bags. A carry-on doesn't have to withstand a nuclear war or tell you what time it is is Tokyo in my humble estimation.I bought a great one(made in China, of course,) this July in Albania for 18usd and it has served me very well including once when I had to check it in. I'd rather have the saved money and enjoy it at my destination!
