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.
