Airline lobby group claims a laptop ban would cost $1B

What I don’t get is what makes a lithium laptop battery safer if it’s in the hold where no one can see it catch on fire and/or do something about it?

(Bing) Attention passengers if you feel your feet getting warm that’s just a small fire in the hold. On a related note we are making an unscheduled landing immediately. No need to report to the baggage carousel, just line up outside the lost luggage office and they’ll be happy to help you. Once again, thank you for flying Spirit Air!
