True, but how many times to you hear of a tube imploding upon itself for no reason? A tube may "go to air" after years of storage but I don't think of them as a ticking time bomb either. And as long as you handle them safely I tend to think we're okay.
And FWIW, that front glass is supposed to aid in radiation protection too. I'd like to find some data to back that up though....
