Preventing Rapid Decompression In Commercial Airliners
The bottom of the bins would need to be a tad bit stronger such as carbon fiber to withstand the suction, but double strengthened re-enforced plastic, composite or fiberglass coated with rubber ought to work fine. Another idea is to neoprene covered mini Frisbees made of high tech super strength plastic in the pockets of stewardesses, and in the event of a small breach they simply pick them up and toss them towards the hole which will suck them into place. This way bullets in cockpits intended for terrorists will not be an issue with pressure at those altitudes above 10,000 feet. With these small modifications and molding shape of the overhead bins the problem is solved. In a 747 this is not too critical as the inlet for the pressurization cabin system is twice the size of a window and the pressurization system could keep up with a breach the size of a window.

Making a Mechanical Manta with Material Memory Manufacturing Methods
The back-up secondary system will be in a carbon nano-tube constructed EA secure preventative casing. The balloon system will operate in a similar fashion to the Georgia Tech Graduate Student's concept depicted here. Once airborne it can act as a communication relay and interact with all satellites, ships, cell towers, wireless military technologies, AWACS, Aircraft and other UAVs. The MMR UUV - UAV will also have its own autonomous navigation and terrain following system in case of communication failures or electronic attack, which will be deployed if needed. The manta ray will have air tanks inside of its wings and a sound device, which will also operate a sonar and an ELF communication system.
