"Doing something as simple as keeping a spare battery in its original retail packaging or a plastic zip-lock bag will prevent unintentional short-circuiting and fires,"
and a plastic zip lock bag is going to help reduce the percentage of it catching on fire? please....if the battery is hot enough to start a fire, the plastic is going to melt to the stupid thing and it'll help heat the fire...

what the hell?! when has a lithium battery started a fire on a plane anytime recently??

so now you have to fit your extra laptop battery into a plastic zip lock bag? this is just absurd.
