2. Blast proof, eh?

Has anybody thought clearly on this?
Blast proof? Composed of what? Lead? High Strength steel?
How much is such a thing going to weigh?

"Sir, the blast proof containers are on board. We can now taxi to the runway."

"Copilot, thank you... Beginning taxi... Of course, we're tons over our take-off weight so we're not likely going to be able to take-off."

"Sir. See! The blast-proof containers work. No more plane crashes. If you can't take off, you can't crash."

"Thank goodness for Congress. Safe airliners at last."
