David,
I found this article facinating.
For my bedroom gun I've got a ruger GP100 loaded with glaser safety ammo precisely because I was concerned about the potential of a stray shot penetrating into an ajoining bedroom.
As I'm sure you know the air marshals used to use the glaser rounds for years. Why the moved to hollowpoints is not clear from the article.
Frankly my guess would be cost. The glaser rounds are VERY expensive $2 a round. If I were to bet some pencil neck bean counter decided to change ammo because it would save X amount vs the glasers.
