What's next? I suppose the NHTSA will force a recall to remove seatbelts on
vehicles with airbags as the airbags are designed to protect UNbelted
vehicle occupants?

This was a Toyota screw-up to begin with. Latch systems are simple and
cheap to implement, if done so in the design phase. But when Toyota found
the screw-up, the NHTSA made it MUCH worse. -Dave
