Found this article on a different message board. It's about the dangers of rechargable lithium batteries.

I'm picturing this sort of incident with a battery stored somewhere in a locker on board. Unsettling, and something to consider.

And what about this guy's iPod that caught fire.

He did have a rocket in his pocket.
