ThinkPad explodes at LAX, ignites bomb scare - Engadget

Engadget.com Article

Earlier today I mentioned an article about Airlines banning the use of laptop computers running off battery because of explosion and fire hazards. The article only mentioned batteries for Dell and Apple computers which were recalled last month. Recently an IBM (not Lenovo) ThinkPad exploded in a passenger's hands just as he walked onto the Jetway to board his plane at LAX. Could this lead to new legislation and rules regarding rechargeable batteries. Click on the above link to view the scary photos.
