I'd agree that they should not be shipped on pax a/c.
At least, if they are on a freighter main deck, you can get at them with an O2 mask and water extinguishers. There's never a flight eng when you need one.
One of the air carriers listed that is banning carriage of Lithium Ion batteries is CargoLux so don't be in such a rush to think that freighter crews will be taking them either.
