    What, because ONE dodgy battery once caused an issue, the ability to move batteries around the world has been completely impeded. Daft, if you ask me. All they need to do is package them properly, not ban them altogether.

    It's not impeded, you can pay FedEx or UPS or other courier companies to do it.

    Similar incidents have happened all over the world and batteries may have downed MH 370. It was carrying a large quantity of batteries.
