Couldn't you just simply disconnect the airbag??  Someone told me there are
two wires that you disconnect and the airbag is turned off.

Sometimes I get nervous with an esplosive device aimed at my head which I
have no idea of it's condition, but it has had the dealer recall about 2
years ago, so I am guessing there is nothing wrong with it.  Does anyone
know what the original problem was with the airbags?  I'd too like to know
why they go bad?  Is it just precautionary?
