It was my understanding that checked luggage was held in the cargo hold.

If it is addressing carried on luggage, then I’d have to say no.

All it takes is for one guy to shoot out a window. The end.

There are too many total idiots out there these days.

You are right.

This MUSLIM loaded his gun in a restroom after retrieving it from baggage claim.

Thus my ‘smart’ remarks.

It is illegal to have firearms in carry on luggage........Ask Barry Switzer and Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham.

Hahahahah!

No.

Only in Hollywood.

In reality the window, with a small hole in it, will make a loud whistling sound, the masks will drop down, and the plane will decend to a safe altitude. Big freaking deal.

Do you know how many planes finish missions during wartime with tons of bullet holes? Doesn’t really hurt anything unless it goes through a hydraulic line (or pilot) or something and all that stuff has multiple redundancies anyway.

Explosive decompression is a Hollywood fabrication. It just doesn't happen. A bleeds through any hole with a gentle "hiss". Bear in mind that the cabin pressure is reduced a little and the outside pressure is low. There isn't much of a pressure differential, less than 15 PSI for sure. Besides, a hole in a window or even a missing window is not a structural failure.

Submarines can spring a leak at depth, and they get a good hard spray without hull collapse. The pressure differential there is a few thousand PSI.
