if you read the first sentence of the article that you refer to it says
that they may restrict you from charging your laptop while in-flight.
this is a good policy for all modern day laptops that have suffered
battery combustion issues (apple macbook pro being most famous for this).
it doesn't say anything about not allowing a laptop on the plane or not
using it on the plane. this policy will help educate users that their
laptop has been subject of a recall which helps everyone.

Enzo deBaker,
Some Airlines are starting to have rules concerning using and carry Dell
Laptops
on their flights. This article mentions some new policies for Quantas
Airlines.
There may be other airlines that have enacted, or will enact similar
rules soon.
If you travel by air, you may want to check with your airline, if
considering
taking along your Dell.

Sorry for asking this if it's been answered already. What is the
shipping method for recalled batteries? How does the labeling keep
carriers from ever putting them in a plane's cargo hold? I'm thinking
of ValuJet Flight 592 ending up in the Everglades after a cargo fire.
