"At least three U.S. airlines are adding new fire-suppression equipment to fleets in case a cellphone or laptop battery overheats, catches on fire and can't be extinguished"
- astrodust 10y agoThis is good since sometimes the plane's own batteries have caught on fire. Having some kind of flame-proof, reinforced steel box they can drop dangerous devices in wouldn't be a bad idea either, as in the case of some idiot with shoe-bombs they could wrestle the device off the person and chuck it in there to be contained.
