"Lithium batteries are considered hazardous materials because they can overheat and ignite in certain conditions."

"must be limited to two, and placed in a plastic baggy if carried on."

Okay... So these baggies’ are going to save the day when these batteries ignite? The Department of Transportation thinks up some stupid rules... I guess the batteries will fit nice in a baggy next to a few 3 oz bottles of unknown fluids that a terrorist is sneaking on the plane. Oh... Don't forget to take the gels out of your shoes (big threat to national security!).
