ISTR reading about a hijack
situation where the boss bad guy was visible in the cockpit (aircraft on
the ground) so it was decided to snipe him, but the bullet didn't
penetrate the cockpit window

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Windscreens for airliners have been
tested
for years by launching frozen chickens at them from cannon. I wonder if
they
still do that.

Actually when they launched a frozen chicken that was in error.
The birds are suppsoed to be thawed first, frozen chickens
have absolutely no problem penetrating screens, they are
in effect large balls of ice after all.
