Tire Pressure Notification **LIGHT** on the dash

Are these pressure sensors required on all vehicles being made now? I seen a news segment this morning that apparantly the mag-chloride that is heavily uused on roads here (Denver) is causing corrosion on stem and a very dangerous failure of valve.
There is an investigation being launched due to high rates of blow outs caused by valve failures resulting in a complete loss of pressure in under 10 seconds. They claim that this problem can occur on all makes/models.
I would consider installing conventional valve stem when I replace tires later this year. if so, I was thinking about removing or dis-abling the the idiot light somehow.
In my opinion, if a driver cannot maintain proper inflation on tires, then they shouldn't be driving.
 
The TPMS system has been a U.S. mandate on passenger cars and light trucks since 2006.

Unfortunately, the dealer cannot disable one of the sensors. If one of the sensor ID's is deleted (all 0's), the light still comes on.
