The nuetral safety switch is located under the shifter and only keeps you from taking your car out of park unless the key is in the on position and your foot is on the brake. It has nothing to do with not being able to remove the key from the ignition. The problem is the Park Lock Solenoid behind the ignition.

And GrandPrixlbc, if you're genuinely concerned about your passenger reaching over and removing the keys while you're driving.... then you should seriously reconsider who you let in your car in the first place.

a-ffn-greed... when i was younger we use to lightly grind down the keys so they could be removed without shutting off the motor... I'd remove the sensor and save some dough....anyone reaches for the key while driving get's the five knuckle sandwich and their walking papers!!!!
