Heh. Once you install ATMs into solid walls, the attacks get a tad
more interesting. In some places of the world, gas detectors are
almost mandatory because criminals pump gas into the machine, ignite
it, and hope that the explosion blows a hole into the machine without
damaging the money (which seems to work fairly well if you use the
right gas at the right concentration).
