“Assault with a Battery”

The FAA and the U.S. Transportation Department have expressed concerns about lithium-ion cell phone batteries being rigged by terrorists to start a fire onboard an airplane. Unless it’s for an iPhone 4, which won’t even burst into flames if you hold it the wrong way.

Motorola insists that their batteries wouldn’t pose such a danger, because by the time they got to the airplane, they would already need to be recharged.
