Boy thanks everyone for the updates. I've really been sweating this.
I just have my Sony cam corder & one 7 hour battery will go into the camera, then I will wrap up the one 1 hour I have and the two 2 hours I have. I will wrap them seperately and store all these in my carry on. I also have one extra battery for my Canon digital. And my cell phone!
But from the way you talked Bill sounds like I wont have a problem when I fly to Mexico next month.
And btw.....I have gone to all the official sites and to me they just confuse the issue and really dont explain anything to the average person!

Well just to be really obsessive.....I found the name of the man on the TSA page who is in charge of batteries!
I sent him an email and got an over nite answer......on a saturday morning yet!!!!! (well I was impressed!)
My total amount of fuss does not count ( as you had all already said) and as long as each battery is in a plastic bag I am fine. Whew!
I printed out all emails....in case I get THAT TSA person!!.....and will have them w/ me.
So thank you all!!!
