So the TSA has dropped their latest bombshell on all of us that travel frequently. A new ban on too many rechargeable batteries. Apparently the new rule (effective Jan. 1, 2008) says you can bring two rechargeable batteries other than those actually attached to the devices they were intended for in your carry-on bags. Batteries are now forbidden in checked luggage.
They also need to be in individual baggies to keep them from shorting out or catching fire. But if putting them in a baggie renders them safe, who cares how many you bring on the plane???
I guess I'll be using Fedex to send all my batteries ahead of me on shoots from now on.
Read the release here.
