In his book, "Iacocca", Lee Iacocca says that he dislikes airbags, and gives
as a reason : They only protect you in a front-end collision ; they could
go off prematurely; the chemical used to inflate them can be toxic. 
He also feels that people will stop wearing saftey belts if airbags are 
installed.  He also cited the extra $$$ that it will cost.  He prefers
enforcement/passage of seat-belt laws.

"If that's good enough for Lee, it's good enough for me!"
