Had an interesting discussion with a friend who suggested carrying a tablet (ipad or other wise) in checked baggage on an airline flight contravened the carriage of dangerous goods regulations.
In my country we are warned not to carry loose lithium batteries in checked (i.e. not carry-on) baggage.
The US Dept of Transport states that devices with batteries up to 100 Watt-hours energy storage are permitted in checked baggage. It seems, from my searching on the web that most (if not all) tablets and laptops have batteries with energy capacity substantially less than the aforementioned value.
Any comments?
