Batteries in DXB T3
I hunted around in the forum and couldn't find any mention of this, so sorry if this is old news or a repeat. I needed to pick up some AAA batteries today while transiting through DXB T3 and you can not find, apparently there are no batteries for sale due to 'security reasons'. You can find lithium batteries to cameras and such, but alkaline batteries were not for sale and when I enquired I was given the 'security' reason. Seems a bunch of BS to me but then just about everything to do with airline security is these days.
anyway, just FYI incase you were planning on getting your own.

With the recent news about an exploding electric cigarette I expect to be asked if I have one with me soon because they will probably also find their way onto the banned items list - I must admit to being a little unerved by the news though and may leave mine at home in future!
