    Seeing that deploying airbags hit like a fist to the face and regularly break noses, maybe reframing airbags as airbombs would suffice as a deterrent.

      There’s actually a whole bunch of laws regarding airbag inflators, a lot of which is because of their potential to be damaging to the environment and hazardous because of chemicals, but some of it’s because those are basically explosives or at least they used to be. So in a lot of places scrap yards take those out first thing because people aren’t allowed to buy them.

      I guess that’s my meandering way of saying that air bomb is pretty much on point
