I don't "buy" the liability issue. If the car is in a wreck now the airbags won't work anyways with the light on (in theory anyways, that's what they tell the factory techs to believe). They should be able to tell if the codes are current or stored (old). Lots of times you still get the warning light on the old codes, just so you're sure to get the system checked out. Can you ask the previous tech if the codes were current or stored?
If they were stored, see if you can convince him to clear the codes?
I wouldn't be as concerned about the bags deploying for no reason, just the opposite, the bags save lives and you want to make sure they will work. The seat belt is MORE important than the bags though.
If nothing else is getting you anywhere, maybe ask the dealer to read and erase codes, or ask for a printout of the fault codes, you should then be able to determine if the codes are current or stored. I don't think anything will erase a SRS code, have to be cleared with the computer.
