I checked in my backpack with Tigerairways in vietnam with a packet of solidfuel.
Nothing happened.
I also check in before.
You just make sure u wrap properly.
Cos any heating element will cos it to ignite.
Exactly that's the reason why it is not allowed. There have been plenty of situations where material considered harmless or safe suddenly becomes a threat. In an emergency situation, the last thing people need is some additional fuel in the luggage compartments.I also check in before.

I do agree to that, let's not get carried away with FUD but let's stick to facts.Let me put things in perspective:
1) Cargo sections are equipped with smoke detectors and other equipment for early notification. Unfortunately, it took some serious incidents and lost lives to get to this point.First, the materials are stored in the cargo department. If a fire occurs, it would not be detected until it is too late. Even so, it is not reachable from the cabin.
Next, the cabin is pressurized, so fires can be highly unpredictable.
Finally, the carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other harmful gases can cause havoc to the air circulation systems to go bonkers.
The point here is... anything inflamable was banned... and for good reason I believe and not someone up there who wished to purposely cause inconvenience to people flying... Why... can't people just... for once, follow to the rules? WHY MUST PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY TO ACT SMART... well... that is not smart, it is plain stupid (plain and simple) and totally irresponsible (I normally don't resort to this type of language, but...)

2) Pressurized here means: higher pressure than outside, but lower pressure than ground level. Lower pressure also means less amount of Oxygen per cubic meter air.
3) As far as I know, the airconditioning system takes fresh air from outside, which gets processed and cleaned before pumped into the cabin. It's not a closed circulation system.
Solid fuel has been banned based on a lot of reasons, we don't need to speculate here further and draw whatever drastic pictures based on limited knowledge but unlimited imagination.

Benefits:
- Convenience of having the solid fuel upon landing for some poorly conceived use
