I mean, we're talking about millions of dollars in property damage, possible lawsuits, etc. I'll be the first to admit that the idea sounds outlandish but I can see a logic to it.

Second, the added expensive and danger to rig buildings in such a way, just wouldn't be worth it for something that is unlikely to happen. Third, explosives deteriorate and go bad over time, so even if you rigged a building when it was built, the system would not be reliable for very long.
