My understanding is that Lithium Ion batteries are not permitted in CHECKED IN baggage but may be in your CARRY ON baggage. Those bags are always scanned of course, so on every occasion they know exactly what is in that bag (and the large amount of metal etc in Leica gear often results in a second pass through). I have also had my carry on physically searched as well as tested for explosives traces in Australia, UAE and Germany without issue. I always have the one in camera of course, plus two spares and charger in my carry on. In Frankfurt the pleasant chap who took me into a private room for the explosive traces testing said 'your German camera is no problem!'
