His company has spent the last 40 years being the big dog in town. he picks lawyers that appear to complement that, being good at using that bully-pulpit to get favourable verdicts in the main source of litigation they deal in.
However now they've suddenly decided that being the best at taking lunch money from the under 10s, means they can try robbing the inhabitants at a major city, and this is the result.
This is true, until you consider that one of the major points is that physical damage is a major cause of thermal runaways. When they're in your carry-on, you do your best to not bash it about. When it's in a checked bag, the baggage handlers don't care, it's not their bag after all, they just want it moved as quickly as possible.
It's the whole "increased chance of damage" by it being checked that is the problem.
SOME are explosion resistant (mainly the 'fly bag', which debuted in 2013). MANY are flame-resistant (ISO 19281:2016) but are not required. In fact, loose loading of luggage is still a thing on many aircraft.
Plus while 14 CFR 25.857 gives cargo area classifications, including requirements for detection and extinguishing/supression, as the video shows, what works for a normal fire doesn't work so well on a battery fire. Especially as directed cooling is the main thing. Watch the last examlpe int he demonstration video linked in the last paragraph - they extinguished the fire, then dumped a LOAD of ice on the laptop (effective as most supression systems) and it didn't stop it from re-igniting.
We're not talking about a wood/paper fire, we're not talking about a fire caused by an electrical spark igniting something. This can't be fought the same way 'traditional' fires can be fought. That's why there's special training on it (I've trained in basic firefighting, both in the UK and US, including on SCBA gear. And that includes seperate training for lithium battery fires, which is handy for all the Battlebots that have caught fire over the years (and which now use a lot of lithium batteries)
Well, You might have money to throw around on products, hundreds of dollars every few weeks when something happens. I don't (I have teenagers)
I never expected it to be the most reliable, but when a completely different person can unlock it, the facial recognition was not fit for purpose.
I still use the tablet, but only with the passcode (which unlike my face, fingerprint or iris, requires the product of my mind, and not my body ('the coma standard')
I guess I should sue now, because the SCOTUS has violated my patent for 'reducing jurisdiction shopping for patent infringement suits" - I'll see them in East Texas.

facial recognition flaws
You know why I stopped? It's because my daughter unlocked it.
Sure, people say 'looks like you just spit her out', but I'm a man in my mid-30s with a beard, she was a pre-pubescent girl of 9 with long hair.
It's like samsung wasn't even trying.
