i imagine so..... I think it may be pushing the limits nowadays - just a joke about having hand grenades in your luggage can get you jailed so carrying things that look like them may be viewed with a bit of scepticism by airlines. IMO if you take those on a plane you would be looking for an argument with security staff that you can't win if they take a dim view.Speaker?
Honestly lithium ion spare batteries are prohibited in checked in luggage. If the check in didn't ask if you have electronics in the check in that would be a worry for the airline procedures. If you answered no that is a worry for the baggage X-ray procedures.Flew Dublin to London to Vegas and back last week. Had my battery pack in hand luggage going out, hold luggage coming back. No worries.
Don't think they asked. They told me to leave my tablet and phone out separately but that's all.Honestly lithium ion spare batteries are prohibited in checked in luggage.

Yep. My point is merely we as passengers should be aware of the right thing to do and putting lithium ion batteries in hold baggage when it is prohibited, on the assumption the crew have a manual that tells them what to do if it it catches fire, is not he right thing to do IMO. They are prohibited in the hold of a passenger aircraft because the possible fire is a danger to passengers and they have decided that the risk is unacceptable. Whether the hold and crew have systems to put the fire out or not is not the issue. The limits in hand baggage are perfectly reasonable so as has been said throughout there will be no issues for the OP.You do know they don't scan all bags don't you?
