I hope that's clear, I'm thinking about two beams one next to the
other that are fixed together such that the space between them fits
the height of a cross catch exactly. Then, if we put that cross catch
between them and insert a #2 axle through a hole of one of the
beams and into the cross catch, the cross catch & the axle can not
be removed. The only way to disassemble that contraption is
to disconnect the two beams. But if the connection of the beams
somehow depends on the cross catch....
I actually think it can be done and it seems easier than a spring
loaded mechanism.

I have to agree.  Not only that, but I am certain that I have done this
several times *by accident*, and had quite a time getting my constuction
apart.  Not to the extent of actually damaging pieces, but having to apply
significantly more force to my Lego pieces than I felt comfortable with.

(...) If I remember correctly, taking apart the shuttle was a handful. The cage around the battery box was a bit tricky to disassemble; the problem was that #3 axles that were inserted through a beam into the polarity switches could not be taken out (...)
