I've seen too many examples of people becoming complacent with their
'equipment' to buy your argument. Perhaps most people won't drive more
recklessly with an airbag but many do with four wheel drive and/or anti-lock
brakes. There will always be a portion of the public that puts too much
faith in safety equipment... I like to think of it as population control.
