Beginning Of A Trend?

Quantas Airlines has issued an advisory to its passengers who use Dell Notebooks following the big recall. According to this article passengers can only use their Dells on battery power or through the aircraft power supply (in business class on some flights) with the batteries removed.

Some airports are operating differently though, with some reports of Dell batteries being removed and the contact points being taped over.

Quantas states they are working with Dell's guidelines. I'm wondering if this is the beginning of a trend?
