Don't know if its the same place or not, but they were talking on talkradio
today about an establishment that did that, and that the pix were
circulating on the web.

My brother actually brought this topic up last year, saying that if you put
the plywood on the outside and a large piece of debris hits it it will flex
and the glass will break creating a mess on the inside. (Try getting
shredded glass out of carpet).

On my own house the glass sets in about 3-4 inches beyond the plywood. So
the plywood would have to bend quite a bit in order for the glass to break.
