Well, I was gonna do some research on restriction on photography, and came across this.
Apparently, as of Jan 1, 2008, US Department of Travel (DOT) has implemented a new regulation on Li-Ion Battery for air travel. (detail can see here http://safetravel.dot.gov/whats_new_batteries.html)
From what I understand, here's the rule
1) No more Spare battery in check-in Luggage. You can still pack the battery with the device if you check them in. but no loose battery in your big suitcase.
2) All Spare battery must pack in carry on luggage, with individually sealed clear ziplog bag, or electrical tape tie around the terminal. (http://safetravel.dot.gov/how_to.html)
3) If your battery contain more than 8gram of Lithium (and under 25g) You can only bring maximum 2 of them. Anything over 25g of Lithium is NOT ALLOWED at all.
I came across the posting from dpreview (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0712/07123101batteryrestrictions.asp).
So i just figure i would share with all of you.
