How could you have an external lever that would disarm airbags without someone randomly pulling it when you leave your car in the shopping centre for example? I would expect military aircraft are always guarded so wouldn't have this problem.

It could also be a wire you need to cut, or a glass you have to smash first. The problem wouldn't be much different from someone breaking your car window to get your purse while your in the shopping center.
On the off chance you get in a crash later? The car could just give an alert if it's started with the emergency lever engaged.

It probably would disable the ignition anyway.
