Re: Exploding laptop?

Oh Great.  Just what we need.  Something else to get the knuckle draggers 
at the TSA excited about...  OK, so at least it was identified in the 
article as a Dell...which we don't use... :)

It could be worse case scenerio of an overcharged battery...I would be 
curious if the unit was plugged in when this happened.  Which means it is a 
scenerio that wouldn't happen in flight...as it was triggered by a 120vac 
connection catalyst.
