Older Trinitrons do use safety glass, it's just sealed better than that of other sets. I was disposing of a used-up 520KB22A CRT with some from other sets a while back, so after airing them I smashed them up more than usual to make the load more manageable. A few good strikes with a heavy object will take care of most CRT faces but the face of the Trinitron CRT just kept cracking like a car windscreen so I eventually gave up on it.
