Heads up on hoverboard Christmas presents

[SpaceCoastVol]

I don't know how many of you are planning on giving/getting hoverboards for Christmas, but if you do, be aware that if you plan on flying with them, you will be in for a shock. Many airlines are banning them and I believe Amazon is as well due to the fire hazards with the batteries. Fires and airplanes do not work well together.

That's exactly what I opened this up to say. The only reason they call them hoverboards is because of Back to the Future. A powered scooter would be more accurate.

Pretty stunning, really. Nearly a full day and no one's made a crack about lighting a fire under Dobbs. Even in this forum that's surprising.
