What is a suicide jihadist decides to start randomly shooting out windows, with a gun he was allowed to bring on the plane?

The rest of the citizens on the plane will kill him. By the way, explosive decompression due to a small hole in the plane is a hollywood movie myth. Air just leaks out of the hole like anywhere there is a pressure differential and a "hole".

Well, since there is no metal detector, screw the gun, he can just blow himself up with a suicide belt.

It’s like “If you wake up that sleepwalker you'll give him lockjaw!” or “You have to keep him on the line for ten minutes so we can trace the call!”

Little laws that were invented for added excitement or sight gags.

I'm no aeronautical engineer, so I ask this sincerely. How does your comment square with the (IIRC) air hawaii jet that die to stress (again IIRC) had some of the side blow off. It landed safely, but there was some explosive decompression involved there.

Is it a function to the size of the hole?
