I only carry them on because the airlines won't guarantee or pay for electronics in checked lugguge which may be damaged, lost, or stolen. A suitcase full of electronics is just too much of a temptation for employees. I too have had things stolen from my luggage. Once, at the counter, I had something antique and sharp and I had to put it in my checked luggage. I placed it right on top at the ticket counter while attendants were watching so that I could retrieve it immediately after the 20 minute flight. It was gone! I was irate and filed a claim, but it didn't pay for the intrinsic value of that piece.
Perhaps if airlines had a separate place to store electronics and be responsible for them, passengers would use them. Of course,then, the airlines might go broke. ]]>Feb 4th 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/Feb 4th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/Jan 2nd 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/And what are we to do after the first exploding breast???]]>Jan 2nd 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/Jan 2nd 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/02/faa-institutes-new-bans-on-laptop-and-gadget-batteries-on-planes/

Please direct me to any in flight emergency or crash caused by a "runaway" Li-Ion battery and please include references to FAA reports. Also, please detail the repairs you have made due to the menaces. I think you are full of crap and can't provide the info requested.

BTW - "If you have a notion of intelligence and disipline" was typed by the guy who can't spell "repaired" "discipline" and "safety". You're repairing planes? Now THAT is terrifying.
