Vote now, how are you gonna deal with new TSA lighter regulations?

[Neuromancer]

If it's packed in your check-in luggage how they gonna tell if it's empty of fuel? Use butane-sniffing dogs?

[MMAB]

Even checked baggage goes through X-ray and or is physically inspected.

i have a number of lighters that are pens.....the dip-shits at tsa would be to stupid to figure out that it's a lighter...they're butane filled and refillable....if interested,lemme know.....they'd be $10..plus shipping...

I think our safety was never threatened by butane carrying BOTL. I think my safety in the air is no greater or less than it was before the silly ban went into effect. I also think the craziness that it is okay to remove everyones right to bear lighters needs to be stopped. In days gone by smoking was allowed in airplanes. Todays aircraft bring in fresh air. Maybe they should make smoker flights. That way if there is a problem everyone on board can flame them like a pissed off FOG on Cigarsmokers.com IMHO to the anti lighter brigade.

What will happan is that Airports will start having crappy fuel available at the newstands and any where else they can try to sell it. I hope we can review fuel on a latter board sometime.
