Composite fuselage? How would it react to explosive decompression? And would it be stronger against explosive devices than an all metal one?
Reading between the lines I'd surmise that someone doesn't understand the meaning of "explosive decompression" if they combine it in the same sentence with discussion of explosive devices. There is, of course, no connection between the two at all.

After all, how does any fuselage react to explosive decompression? It just relaxes and goes, "Aah!" doesn't it? Is that dramatic in some way?

A bit more engineering/science please, a bit less inaccurate media induced technical (in)expertise?
