Among prohibited items, the Royal Mail lists:
Explosives
Any chemical compound, mixture or device capable of producing an explosive or pyrotechnic effect with substantial instantaneous release of heat and gas is prohibited e.g. ammunition, blasting caps, Christmas cracker snaps, fireworks, flares, fuses, igniters, nitro-glycerine and party poppers.
Items that appear to be prohibited explosive ordnance may be subject to additional checks and delays.
And an airbag works as follows:
The airbag system ignites a solid propellant, which burns extremely rapidly to create a large volume of gas to inflate the bag. The bag then literally bursts from its storage site at up to 200 mph (322 kph) -- faster than the blink of an eye!
I'd guess that that would count as prohibited.
