Abstract: A blast resistant laminate composite container wall construction is provided for a bomb-resistant airline baggage container for withstanding gas-expansion explosives. A PVC substrate core (26) of sufficient thickness, at least about 0.5 inch, is used to provide a substantially rigid container wall. A first layer (28) of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on one side of the core, a second layer (30) of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on the first layer, a third layer (32) of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on the second layer, a fourth layer of 0.03 inch thick random chopped strand fiberglass is on the third layer, a fifth layer of 0.03 inch thick random chopped strand fiberglass is on the fourth layer, a sixth layer of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on the other side of the core, a seventh layer of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on the sixth layer, an eighth layer of 0.02 inch thick woven roving fiberglass is on the seventh layer, a ninth layer of 0.
