Airbags involve the rapid deployment of a large cushion at speeds that can exceed 230 mph. The entire deployment and inflation process is about 0.2 sec. Airbags deploy in about 0.05 second. A vehicle changes speed so fast in a crash. Therefore, air bags must inflate rapidly if they are to help reduce the risk of the occupant hitting the car’s interior.
Newer airbags trigger at a lesser speed. Still passengers must remain at least 10 inches from the bag to avoid injury from the bag in a crash. While airbags can protect a person under the right circumstances, they can also injure or kill. Protect yourself and your passengers from unnecessary injuries or even deaths.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - http://www.fda.gov:
The FDA is probably most thought of when the word “recall” comes up. It is obvious that the FDA deals with food and drug issues, but they are also in charge of testing, monitoring and recalling medical devices (pacemakers, contact lenses…), animal feed, cosmetics, and products with the potential to cause health-related side effects, such as cell phones and lasers. Although the FDA is in charge of “food,” they also share that responsibility with the next federal agency…

The Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC needs a complete overhaul of the rules and regulations. They are hurting the little guy and they are not helping the investor or consumer. With all the massive over disclosure and Sarbanes Oxley rules it is costing corporations millions of dollars each year to comply.
This does not help the investor but rather hurts the investor because those costs must be passed on and that means higher fees and in the case of money managers, it means reduced commissions to brokers and financial planners who manage money.

It means lower corporate earnings and less shareholders value, no body wins by the government in extortion fines, the lawyers in lawsuits and accountants, of which there is now an artificial shortage thanks to over regulation.
