Default Removal of Passenger-side Airbag

Has anyone permanently removed the passenger-side airbag from their '03-07? If so, can it be done without the vehicle throwing a code or displaying an alert on the dash readout?

Once when working on some wiring, I temporarily disconnected the passenger airbag switch and that displayed a message on the dash alerting me to 'check' the airbag system (or something to that effect). I was wondering if there was a way to disconnect the passenger-side of the system without having a code thrown (or a message displayed).

One thought that came to mind was to disconnect the airbag module and measure the resistance between the leads...then substitute a resistor with the same resistance in its place on the on/off switch. This should trick the system into thinking that an airbag module is still connected/installed.

I'll probably try this at some point, but thought I'd throw the question out to the forum in the event that someone had hands-on experience with this topic.
