As the Glasgow airport "bombers" found out. Such cylinders are fitted with

They would go off explosively in large parts of the world including
the middle east which is presumably where they got the idea from.

That makes no sense. The most significant feature of the Glasgow airport
"bombing" was the way that the cylinders *didn't* explode. Would moving
them somewhere else make a difference?

Not moving the cylinders, using locally supplied ones which don't have
the fusible plug.
