Rattle Inside Steering Wheel

So I've searched through many of the rattle threads and was unable to find a solution to my latest problem. There is a rattle coming from within my steering wheel, towards the part facing the driver. It took me a while to locate it, but it seems to come from the area where the airb ag is. I am ab le to stop the rattling if I hold the giant horn-honking piece to keep it from moving. I guess I reallytwo questions: 1) does anythong know a fix for this and 2) should I be worried that there might be something wrong with my airbag?

Thanks guys.

The link below has some detailed pictures of the airbag squib and how it mounts to the sheet metal frame that acts as the horn switch. It could be a loose nut on the airbag squib or more likely, some portion of the horn switch assembly that is rattling.
