Re: Gov't on airbags

[Alexei M Voloshin <Alexei.M.Voloshin-1@tc.umn.edu>]

A question:

why would anybody put a child in the front seat of a car knowing the 
driving habits of American public??

A comment:

it only took them a few dead children to figure this one out! Not that 
they were originally uncomfortable with an explosive device designed to 
explode in your face being installed in every car. It's just that not 
enough adults break their hands, hoses, and skulls by airbags in 
steering wheels....
