Korean Air bans Apple and Dell notebooks
AppleInsider is reporting that Korean Air, in fear from batteries blowing up has banned certain notebooks (Dell, Powerbooks and iBooks) from their flights.
“Due to the risk of onboard fire, we are not allowing passengers to use certain brands of laptops on the plane.
Altho it seems they’re ok to transport if the batteries are separated them into checked baggage.
It may seem a bit extreme, but then again there is this unsolved issue:

I think it’s perfectly reasonable, I mean the LiIon battery is just a bomb that some scientist pleaded and begged to be a battery, all it takes is a little bit of tempering and that bomb will find out it’s true purpose in life. From what I understand airlines are prividing adaptors for the people can’t bring their batteries onboard.
