For the same reasons we use Halon, on Test sites, in the Geekmobiles, and in
the lab. We got a great deal on small (2Lb) Halon units. I don't know who
makes them, but they're white bottles with black plastic tops and nozzles.
They make a horroble stink though, and you can't use them in a confined
space (like a car) if you plan on staying in there. They remove the oxygen
from the air and will suffocate you if you stay.
