Attn All Traveler!!! You must be aware to followed FAA rules and you cannot allowed to put the batteries into checked bags. Its too extremely dangerous to carry the batteries after what happening the incident of UPS crash into Dubai, UAE.
I say that this is a lot of hype over something that can be easily fixed. As long as the batteries are packed properly and not left loose you should be OK. If we're going to get hyper about all lithium ion batteries everyone will be forced to leave their mobile phones, iPods and laptops at home. A little bit of sense goes a long way.
