Based on associates that have been flagged by TSA after investigating ballistic parachute deployments, I do not think that would be a very effective method, not impossible, but likely to be discovered by intelligence means and likely to not be effective even being extremely careful.

Fuselages blowing apart due to fuel tank ignition. Fuel tank punctures on takeoff, etc.
