I wonder if that's true. I don't know if this applies to all plastics but I read an article about plexiglass (a type of plastic used for airplane windowshields among other things) a few years ago that explained that it was something like 90% more transparent than glass. or maybe that was 90 times more transparent. I don't actually remember now.

So unless you have information to the contrary I wouldn't just assume that the glass is more transparent.
