I've had friends and coworkers murdered, kidnapped, and at least two that I know of had their children burned to death. My older daughter's friend was murdered along with both his brothers and both his parents - there was nobody left alive so this child didn't even have the traditional prayer said at his funeral. My younger son's camp counselor was kidnapped and later his body was retrieved. Shall I go on? Or would you believe me that this war has far worse inconvenienced us and we're doing what we can to end it as quickly as possible - including maiming 3000 enemy fighters in an attack so targeted that a single civilian child died among over a dozen dead militants and 3000 injured militants.
But it's unrelated to "nobody in the whole world can trust anything with a lithium battery anymore" and the cost of that over time will be much higher than your dead family and friends, in terms of say, people dying in hospitals over the next 30 years because pagers stop being used, or all kinds of anything where a battery powered device would save a life
If you were in Lebanon, that would be a different story, but making it some global feeling is pretty bs.
My point is a lot of crap in the world happen, I don't see this being something that will actually occupy anyones mind unless they're in job/role that puts them in harms way.
Well, all of our trust that our phones aren’t surprise explosive devices. As well as the devices in the pockets of the people next to us in a crowd.
