Airline Bans Dell, Apple Laptop Battery Usage

identity0 writes: Following their laptop battery recalls, Apple and Dell laptops have been banned from battery-powered operation on all Korean Air flights. They may still be used with the in-cabin AC power plug, but their batteries must be removed before flight or they will not be allowed onboard. The official press release notes that the battery ban includes "Dell laptops (including those unaffected by recall), Apple's iBook and Powerbook models". Can the Dell Dude and Ellen Feiss figure out how to take the battery out, or will they be trapped in Korea?
