Has anyone put a screen were the passenger airbag is?

If I was really set on this mod, I wouldnt risk getting popped in the face...I would probably wrap the area where the bag deploys up really well with damp cloth, but not too tightly so the bag can fully inflate without cracking your dash or damaging the the windows or windshield...then set those bad boys off with the truck doors open. Not sure the process of only inflating the passenger side bag and not the drivers side, Im sure it can be done...perhaps not at the sensor though. This is probably one of the most nerve racking mods I've seen.

There is no driver airbag. Not sure I want to purposely set them off.

Honestly installing my clifford alarm has me more nervous.

I have done quite a bit of training on vehicle extrication and so forth involving airbags. Just because the battery is disconnected, the fuse is out, so on and so on does not necissarily mean that the airbag wont deploy. Also, im pretty certain that there is no easy way of setting off the airbags manually because the motion sensors require movement, then a sudden stop (although i have seen them set off after the wires have been cut and they were attatched to a 12v battery). Not sure if this makes sense to any one, or helps at all but i figured id chime in.

disconnect the battery. open up the dash. unplug any wires under the passenger airbag that are wrapped in yellow plastic. those are your airbag wires. then pull it out

I knew a guy years ago who put a PS2 (The big 1st gen ones) in the area whee the airbag goes. This was on a 98-99 Tahoe. I've never seen it done on a 00-06 though, but I'm sure anything is possible. I hear that to properly disconnect the airbag you have to disconnect BOTH battery termainals and wait at least 15 mins before unplugging any of the airbag wiring.
