1.   The other day for example, at a neighborhood Market, I saw a woman carrying grocery bags open her car trunk.

2.   As it flew toward the water, the bag opened.

3.   A flat oblong bag opens into a roomy pouch.

5.   David Giroux, a spokesman for Ford Motor Co., estimates a bag could open with half the current force and still provide adequate protection.
