I think if the door opens outward, the hinges would be on the outside and someone could remove them and break-in. I don't know for certain.

A door can swing outward as long as the porch/landing outside is at the same level as the floor inside. Snow can be an issue if it piles up outside the door. While a regular hinge would be easy to remove the pin and then the door, it is much easier to break in so many other ways. Kicking a door IN is usually relatively easy on an inswing door even with a standard dead bolt. An exterior hinge has steal studs/stops on the hinge plate to prevent it from being removed even with the hinge pin removed. The possibility of the door getting blown out of your hand and damaging something would be a bigger concern.
