Just for all the "what's the threat" crowd.

Its not the produced oxygen.

These things use chemical oxygen generators. I suspect anybody with a knowledge of simple chemistry, some tools, and perhaps some extra fuel could make quite an effective explosive device out of this.

As to 'why just lavs", it would be a tad obvious if somebody started dismantling the oxygen system above his seat.

One might ask why Value Jet no longer exists.
