I often sit in exit row seats and have thought about this myself. On the 737 I was on last Friday the exit doors over the wings hinged at the top and very definitely opened outwards - so the higher cabin pressure compared to outside would aid opening the door at altitude. What is there to stop some lunatic opening these doors in flight?
