If the batteries are supposed to be a fire hazard then they are still a fire hazard in the carry on bags. They are not a fire hazard once they are removed from the suitcase. If they are just in a separate bag they pose no hazard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if there in the hold and catch fire they cant get to it to extinguish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that in the passenger compartment people will quickly identify that a battery is on fire or overheating and can deal with it. Do the baggage areas of airplanes have fire suppression? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
