I think that is correct, you not the dealer have always been allowed 
to disconnect the airbags.  My dad wanted them disconnected on his 
new Buick, dealer said that there was nothing stopping him from 
disconnecting them, but that he (the dealer) could not do it.  The 
dealer even showed him exactly what to do, but he had to come home 
and do it himself.
