I always thought (kids don't try this at home), if you accidentally lodged a
small bag, or piece of a bag in your throat, your air supply would not be
completely restricted. I think that the bursting baggies, and rip-stopping
may be an beneficial side effect to the safety consideration. Who knows
though?
A side note... I have heard that babies don't have to even swallow a bag to
choke; they can just fall on it and inhaling seals the bag around the mouth,
and exhaling just lets the air out. this would be prevented by the holes
too.

It's the manual sorting of pieces -- that's why TLG spends a lot of money on expensive equipment (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
