Well, unless he has a bomb. Airlines really need to worry less about guns and toothpaste and perhaps look into the possibility of keeping bombs off the plane.
They are more concerned about toothpaste and shaving cream than about anything else, it would seem. I went through the TSA line at Baltimore on Saturday. I forgot to check my toiletry bag, so they searched it and moved aside my shaving razor to get at and confiscate my shaving gel, mousse and toothpaste. :doh

The TSA is such a joke. Actually, government terrorist prevention has been shown to be a joke. Since 9/11 the general public has stopped more terrorist acts on planes than they (Richard Reid and Abdulmutallab were both stopped by passengers).
 
Not getting blown out a window is not the only danger of rapid decompression.
The point was that bullet holes are not big enough to cause rapid decompression. But even if they did, that's why you have the oxygen masks.
 
the reason I don't get hit by asteroids at my place, is I have a deflector on my roof. It must be working, cause I haven't been hit yet.

The reason you haven't been hit by an asteroid yet, is that certain plans have not yet come to fruition.

No. It's because I jump into space and punch them really hard.
