New battery restrictions got you down?
After getting an extended battery for my laptop (yaay! Less whipping out the iGo for power on the plane!), I am wondering if anyone has had problems with the new TSA Battery Guidelines. My battery is well below any proposed limit, and I rarely check bags (thank YOU London Airports!), but it seems any time a new TSA regulation is put into place there can be some difference in interpretation.
What say you?

It says loose batteries. Presumably your notebook's batteries are in a cartridge of some sort, right?

Yep, though I know several of us in the field carry multiple batteries for various reasons. Luckily, I've been able to avoid carrying extra batteries (thank goodness for extended ones)!

We added a section to one of our reference engines that covers TSA requirements (they're changing again - at least that's what we understand).
Anyways, check it out, it may help:
