> Neither are airbags in cars, yet the government stepped in and made them mandatory.

that's simply untrue.

this testimony is from 1997, and even with mostly first generation airbags in play at that time it's still wrong.

They are even more effective at saving lives now, and many of the problems with passenger side airbags have now been alleviated.

saved lives = saved money (unless you're looking at cost-to-state of an entire life rather than cost-to-state for medical/funeral costs, but that's outside the scope of this)
