Yes, air bags are dangerous even after the explosion!  I recently talked to
an engineer who designed air bags for the manufacturer. He said the residue
left after ignition and deflation is a fine lead powder which is inhaled by
all vehicle occupants.  The government has not told us about this danger of
lead poisoning racing through the blood stream of the survivors of an
accident.  If we have lead based paint eradication laws, how can the gov't
allow lead powder poisoning of accident victims!  This danger of lead
poisoning by activated air bags is being withheld by the National Highway
Transportation Safety Board. How can we diseminate this information to all
the populace????  Now!!!!!!!
