Bullshit...  Airbags are supplemental, they work best when deployed on
someone who is belted in...

They will stop you from hitting the steering wheel and windshield if
you
aren't wearing your seat belt...

Seat belt laws don't *MAKE* people wear them, even when it is a
primary
offense that the police could make a traffic stop if they observe you
not
belted in...

Airbags are not just there to make it easier on the people properly
wearing
seat belts, they are a last ditch effort to save the idiotic who don't
wear
belts too...
