Not dangerous. See Mythbusters on the topic of exploding LP tanks.
Any compressed gas can be dangerous.
I am a fleet manager for a company that solely delivers them. However we know people will do this. It's your gas, but there is a reason there are many regulations for when gasses are transported. Things can get ugly really fast if anything is not right.
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Better not put them in your back seat.

Sure is

Definitely dangerous. May not explode, sure,
but could displace enough oxygen to cause hypoxia.
Could vent fast enough to cause dangerous overpressure.
Could slide out of the seatbelts not meant to hold that shape and become a wrecking ball in an accident.
Yes it's dangerous, no it won't kill you most times you do it.
If the steel bottle somehow instantaneously dissolved, then sure.
I will continue to fly in airplanes assuming that the laws of physics will continue to apply.

There was this incident in my town a long time ago. I believe the cause was leaking gas bottles and having them unsecured caused sparks, which then resulted in the explosion.
So, secure those gas bottles well!!
