The thinking I've seen is about batteries being replaced by explosives.
Even so, the US isn't the first to do this. China won't let you take Li+ batteries beyond a certain mAH in your carryon.

The US already has energy limits for batteries in carry-ons[1], they're just not so boneheaded as to preclude laptops.

- gumballhead 9y agoThis was already true for the US as well. You can't fly with a laptop battery larger than 100Wh.
- bryanlarsen 9y agoThe 2015 MacBook Pro had a 99.5Wh battery, suggesting that it might have been slightly larger if not for the 100Wh airplane limit.
