Yep. It's one of the things that put me off the Sienna (and becoming a 2 minivan family). You have to pry off trim, unscrew things, etc. I just looked up though and someone has developed an "airbag testing module" that you can install once you remove the seats to prevent the van from throwing a code. They're only $16 a piece, so $32 to get rid of the problem isn't too bad, but still it's not something you're going to take out to haul something unwieldy then put back in in 30 seconds after you unload.
