American, Delta and Alaska airlines have all announced that as of January 15, travelers may no longer check smart bags unless their batteries can be removed. The move aims to protect aircraft from fires located in the cargo hold.

It's expected to be a hot gift this Christmas: "smart" luggage, including bags you can track with Global Positioning System, lock remotely, ride like a scooter. But numerous bags already on the market have batteries that can't be removed. Everything from electric fidget spinners to "hoverboards" have caught on fire from overheated li-ion batteries.

So-called smart luggage that includes tracking technology and remote locks won't be allowed in the cargo holds on board some of the world's biggest airlines unless the lithium batteries used to power the devices are removed.

Although most of the airlines will allow passengers to travel with the smart bags if the battery is removed, but numerous bags already on the market have batteries that can't be removed. "If the battery can not be removed, the bag will not be allowed", American said in a statement on Friday.

His father told "Access Hollywood" that his "grand plan" is for his three sons to play for the Los Angeles Lakers . UCLA returns to the court Wednesday night against the Montana Grizzlies.

Smart luggage manufacturers have pushed back.

"Power banks are considered spare batteries and must be individually protected from short-circuit and carried in carry-on baggage only", according to the International Air Transport Association's 2017 Lithium Battery Guidance Document.
