Bulk hold door

Been watching this thread from post one so thought I would finally register toady and make a contribution.

I was wondering if there there was any evidence to support the planting of an explosive device in the rear most cargo bay - bulk.

The bulk cargo hatch is unique in that the door for it opens inwards so the outer part of the hatch locks up against the cargo ceiling / pax floor, the curve of which, whilst in it's locked / open position, might just be big enough to hide a device that would be impossible to see when the door was open when loading. People would not be in bulk with the door closed.

There is a nice video of A320 bulk door ops here:



To me it seems to be in the right place, and is one of the more 'reachable' hatches on the A/C.

I can't help feeling that if there had been a bomb on board it would need to have been in this area....
