The issue has a lot of components:
1) Safety of planes
2) Technical (What is the problem?)
3) Economic (in a difficult moment for US)
4) Influence to Boeing (Relies on 787)
IMO FAA is acting too politically. It seems aggravating the issue. But they should have info we donīt. The name "Lithium battery" is tainted. And everybody relies on these batteries. There are many types, some even more dangerous, like Li Po.
FAA is near the center of a big storm. The eye (volatile) moving; a storm with lightnings capable to hit all players.
