The batteries we use are already banned from air cargo, all travels by road freight, been that way since the lithium aircraft fires as a knee jerk reaction to anything with lithium in the name. The batteries we use do not explode or burst into flame like LiPo batteries do, but they are all piled into the one basket with the lithium tag.

A spot on the news tonight of someone with an e-cigarette in his pocket. Of course the lithium battery went up in flames in his pocket, right in front of CCTV camera. Didn't show the suspect battery or the e-cigarette either.

I detest the way media whip up hysteria and distort information. Its not about keeping the barstards honest, its about selling advertising. Most of us fall for it..
