i do plan to take my camera and digicam with me on my backpack, does this mean i have to remove them batteries also?

I never take them out of cameras, in fact - sometimes you have to turn things on to show they're really cameras, cell phones, laptops, etc. I haven't lately, but at times.

Uh, you may want to start on dive lights. I took them out originally so the heavy batteries wouldn't break the lights when the bags were "handled," but since - have heard stories of travelers having problems, and seen a Roatan security agent slow a line up horribly as she removed batteries from light after light, bag after bag. Some agents just keep the light. At best, a US agent will see them on X-ray and be more likely to enter your bag.
And there is a fire risk. Dive light with hot bulb gets turned on inside luggage on a plane. :11:
