I was watching the mythbuster show on Discovery when they were experimenting with pressurizing a passenger jetliner (that was not being used anymore) to 8 psi, the same thing airlines do at 35,000 ft, and blowing different sized holes. A bullet hole was not something that would cause de-pressurization to move things around in the cabin much, but pretty much anything bigger than a bullet hole was a problem. When they took out two sections of window the roof peeled off the airplane! So no, potential explosives not a good idea! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
