So are you saying I could buy like, a dozen laptop batteries, take them on a trip to Hawaii with me, and then sell them to pay for my vacation?

Im sure trying to smuggle a dozen lithium based batteries onto a passenger plane would go over super well with the TSA. They would probably even pull you into the nice private Polite Conversation Room.

I'm pretty sure the phrase the TSA would use to describe a dozen laptop batteries in a suitcase is "an incendiary device".

So... hey Mateo. What are you doing next July?

I hope my new battery gets here before then…

Nice battery related joke!

They don’t want that, for the same reasons
