U.S. bans e-cigarettes from checked baggage over fire risks

2. I recommend they deny laptops, cell phones, ipads and music players, too.

They all have lithium Ion batteries too and high current draws (With reported incidents of fires, too). More elite movements against the vaping community.

I don't see them removing the in-flight credit card readers that caused an incident.

I also don't see them heeding the UN warning "UN panel recommended banning [all] rechargeable lithium battery cargo from all passenger jets." - Yet they target the ecig that is hot in the news (Pun intended).

More than half of the lithium ion incident reports (4 of them) on planes are from the new Boieng Dreamliner's own battery packs.
