avant-garde, perhaps the airlines Down under should look at containment systems... the lot I work for teach the same procedure except we follow up by using a containment device to hold the item in case of further thermal runaway.

Certain airports in Asis now pull the crew aside to repack if there are any lighters or batteries in the hold luggage; hope the same is being done for pax. I think this should be made standard world wide!
