That's a proposal to ban laptops from CHECKED luggage.
Very few people check laptops. Laptops are expensive and airlines will not accept liability for loss or damage for laptops in checked luggage.
Such a ban would change very little as very few passengers would be effected.

Since lithiums, my personal policy with cargo smoke on to point the ship towards the nearest suitable while we run the checklist.

"Easily"? My guess is you've never held a run away lithium battery. I had a phone battery run away once. It was amazing in its intensity. Not so easy.

If it's in the cargo bin, you have no idea what's going on and how bad it is, whether you need to divert, ditch, or land on I-405.
But yes, immediate action for any on-board fire is going to be point to a suitable divert.

We have special equipment onboard to deal with Li batteries now (in the cabin). Easily as in in it can be contained, and you know the status. FA will have something to talk about at the bar later.

Still, it would be preferable than in the hold.
