Lithium battery fire ,

Why no one takes this in consideration?
These fires cannot be extinguished with halon, and if in the cargo hold, it can take, as we know it had before, a large aircraft down in a few minutes.

IATA and ICAO allows lithium battery cargo, and I repeat Cargo, and not some spare pax luggage containing one battery here or there, I mean a or a few pallets of lithium battery cargo in PAX flights.

Take a look at UN3480 as an example, and it's drill code ERG 9FZ.
