TSA Limits Lithium Batteries on Airplanes

yali writes "The U.S. Transportation and Security Administration has issued new rules limiting travel with lithium batteries. As of January 1, no spare lithium batteries are allowed in checked luggage. Batteries carried in the cabin are subject to limitations on per-battery and total lithium content, and spare batteries must have the terminals covered. If you're returning home from the holidays with new toys, be sure to check out the new restrictions before you pack."

Go with a hollowpoint load. If it comes to it, you are using something that the (insert law enforcement agency) have tested and use, and you trust their judgement to find something effective. And you can claim as much in court. (IANAL either, but the people in (insert law enforcement agency) had access to them when they made their decision.)

To put it in more common terms: respect others and trade with them. Don't invade and steal resources.

Right, we should cooperate with countries like Saudi Arabia... Oops, nope, that's exactly what got Bin Laden and most of the 9/11 hijackers angry at the US in the first place.

What other countries that aggressively suppress their people, should we "respect" and "trade with" in your imaginary world?
