I had a thought, and based on some things I am reading I am wondering what would the result be on this. It appears that the EU is considering banning the transport of large numbers of batteries in the hold of the aircraft. This actually makes sense since the pilots don't want them in the hold and they are a clear hazardous material. I wonder if this could be the straw that delays things. the US bans laptops in the cabin and the EU bans them in the hold. What happens then?
