Seems to me I'd want to change the fuse for the airbag monitor, and see if it blows again. The whole "due to intermittent short" thing is more of a catch-all comment, not necessarily a positive diagnosis.
I would change the fuse, if possible, and see if it blows again. if not, you are good to go. if so (likely), you will have to track down what is shorted and causing the extra current flow.. (blows the fuse)
