I'm watching the rather entertaining show "Myth Busters" where they try to prove
or disprove urban legends.

Tonight they decided to see if planes really decompress explosively if a handgun
is fired through the skin or a window. They took a derelict airliner and pumped
the internal pressure to 8psi. Then they rigged a Sig 9mm pistol to fire
remotely [using a soda vending machine mechanism]. They fired through the
fuselage and through a cabin window. Neither caused explosive decompression.

Gee, I guess those British airline pilots who don't want armed COPS on board
look every bit as much the idiots they sound.

Heh, heh, I'm pretty sure my dog is a liberal - he has no balls.
