Korean Air are being VERY safety concious... so if you're flying with them (I'm sure many other airlines will follow shortly)...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Seems logical to me...

Actually it is ILLOGICAL that laptops with Li-Ion batteries are allowed to be carried in planes at all... as it is FORBIDDEN to ship lithium based batteries by plane unless they are packed in a special container

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Yes, the batteries are Lithium-based, but they do not contain any significant amount of pure Lithium. Due to the laws of electrochemistry, which I won't get into, the Lithium is oxidized, not reduced, so there is little Lithium that is not already in a stable compound. And try as you might, nuetral Lithium wont burn.

EDIT, just reviewed last-years notes on electrochem, it wont from LiCl, but nuetral Lithium.
