If an air cargo carrier really wanted to take a stand, they would refuse to accept these shipments (many are not properly labeled, of course), or develop a special container for this cargo that would contain the damage, preventing the spread of the event (at additional cost to the shipping system, likely significant). The continued acceptance of these known shipments in their current packaging is an unambiguous statement: the profit of shipping a potential thermal runaway is worth the cost of a potential hull loss and/or crew deaths.
