How safe is a external window if you can “jimmy” it open from the outside? Seems that would break a seal, no?

@jann If the jets follow the same system as smaller planes, then the windows are just held in place with a small metal clip. Once you rotate the clip 90 degrees, the window swings out on a spring. So, in theory, it should be just as easy as slim-jimming a car lock.
