[Shop-talk] Cutting fiberglass?

Since FIFO doesn't work so well for home renovations, I'm going to  
have to cut a shower enclosure in half to remove it. It's made of  
fiberglass. How nasty will it get if I use the sawzall? Will the  
fibers be big enough to land on the ground in a few minutes or will  
there be a microscopic carcinogenic haze throughout the house for a  
month? I have a good respirator and shop vac, but no good way to  
contain the debris.

thanks,
jim
