This would be worth trying if you have one of those mysterious refrigerators at work where your food items frequently disappear.

needs a "No, but pets should be properly restrained to keep them from hurting passengers or themselves or interfering with the driver."

@ Kevin George: Anecdotes Do Not Equal Data. Also the gummint does not mandate how the airbags are designed to deploy, only that there are secondary safety devices.

2nd gen airbags (anything past 1998) also only deploy at higher speeds thus preventing deployment in such circumstances as you describe.

Despite all of this I welcome you to drive with your head out the window at all times, if you wish.
