I think you should be peeved!

I want to be safe on my flight as much as anyone. This story tells me 
that the clowns are still in charge of security. To me this is almost as 
bad as no security. Just a show to make someone feel good.

WHY did they want the batteries out?
The tiny batteries from an M6? Or a light meter battery?

Huh ? ? ?
