91.15 ... Just look before you jettison...

I'm betting there are a lot more laptops used in pressurized cockpits
above 15,000' than below; I doubt the jettison solution applies to them.

Since laptops are once again allowed onboard as checked luggage, I
wonder if the airlines are going to start checking battery models and
revision numbers (bet not). Or what about corporate and charter? There
doesn't seem to be much in the way of cockpit volume to dilute the fumes
from the chemical fire, and you certainly wouldn't want a constant feed
oxygen system switched on during the event.
