this is why industrial tool batteries come with caps and have recessed contacts so they can't short and start fires in your toolbox. What sort of anarchist morons are against this sort of regulation? Is it worth your laziness to have a dozen AA format batteries with exposed contacts rolling around so it can short out and start a fire? Or are you all a bunch of wannabe lottery winners hoping you can cause a situation and win a big lawsuit?
The ruling is simple-you wanna carry a ridiculous number of batteries, keep them in something. Hell, the NiMH's I buy come with a neat little case to keep em from rattling around when I don't have them in the flashgun. The camera's batteries themselves are proprietary cartridges that are nicely covered.
But hey, don't let that get in the way of creating a common-sense and regulation-free world. Then you can bitch about that too.
