I think what bothers me most about this, and I'll probably start some kind of argument over this, is that the church of the day was too stupid to understand what he was talking about. The church decided they were the world's only authority on scientific matters and didn't like others telling them they were wrong.
FYI - Newton was a minister in the Church of England (Ref - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Isaac_Newton) You may be thinking of Galileo, but that was another Church, different country and another century.

Newton didn't invent Gravity, he defined it. And, of course, there is no evidence that anyone could fly before his observations. Don't dumb-down science, even for humerous purposes.

That would be funny. Cameras use lithium, and they're allowed on, so this battery should be okay.
Well, cameras typically use small, encased, low-capacity and low voltage batteries. Ones that provide motive power for suitcases require higher voltage, more power and typically do not have metal cases. I was denied air shipment of batteries for portable drills and saws. Even Boeing had to redo their on-board batteries, and recently hover board batteries have been know to explode and self-ignite.

Is it powered by the kind of batteries they won't allow on airplanes?

I don't believe the statement, "Crop sensor cameras are OK, but limit the size of print that can be made from the original image. The main limit is image quality with large prints. Additionally, crop sensors tend to introduce more noise in an image." is accurate.
The main thing about how large a print can be in digital photography is the sensor pixel count. A 10 megapixel sensor will be able to produce the same size and quality of print regardless of the sensor FF, DX or other. There are other factors involved (signal-to-noise ratio, etc). but pixel count is the most significant.

There are differences in specification between "4/3" and "micro 4/3", which is the specification for the Pano and Oly systems.

Well, a Cadillac crossover and a Chevy pickup are manufactured in Mexico, but other U.S. makes are also there. But many more Asian and European marques are made in Mexico for the U.S. market. And our (U.S.) government allows it under "Free Trade Agreements". Sad.

That's the way they do it in Europe; no mess, no fuss. The offending vehicles aren't towed or pulled onto a titling flatbed. The vehicle is lifted straight up and put on the truck for transport. Most of their facilities are narrow and tight, and any disruption backs up traffic. This way, the disruption is minimized. But it works best with small and light vehicles. It would be more difficult to move a Denali, but not impossible.

There are a lot of nonsense comments posted; it hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. the uninformed from the delusional.

The tank is called a pressure vessel (by engineers) and is covered in detail by formal requirements in U.S. law called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME), for good reason. A pressure vessel, when it contains air or other gases is a literal bomb. The requirements for design, pressure relief, construction, fabrication techniques, testing, corrosion allowance and materials are strict. Disastrous early experience in the 1900s in the U.S. lead to the Code. Even solar heating and a faulty relief valve can be deadly.

"I would imagine there isn't a reasonably priced adapter (less than $150) that works on more than one brand of lens for the A6300?"
I don't think so. Your camera body has one mount, but the various lens type have different mounts (kinds of bayonets, threads, diameters) and different focal plane-to-mount distances. One mount will not adapt to various lens mount configurations.

Personally, I think the shipping delay is a scam to get a person to enroll in Prime to get it shipped sooner!
Or is it that Amazon Prime orders have priority and get shipped first?

Nonsense. Regardless of your opinion of the TSA activities (and I might agree with you), it is the system at the airport, you can't change it there, and pushing back with an attitude will only delay and inconvenience you.

Fog on the inside? Not good, seal is gone. Only a matter of time before things start growing in there. I have several that went that way after a session close to the surf. Get a new lens. 
Agree. If the fog is on internal elements, it is a bad situation. there is excessive moisture in the lens. There is little circulation in there, so the only thing is to raise the temperature to reabsorb the moisture, or to put it in a very dry environment for a long time to get draw the moisture out. But internal moisture means the seals have failed and the problem will likely reoccur.
