Airport security is a joke. i was flying this summer, and happened to have 2 Bic lighters on me, one in my pocket for use, and one in my luggage. When the scanners detected my lighter in my luggage they made me remove it. Policy says only one lighter per person. They asked if I was traveling with anyone else I could give that lighter to for the flight. I said no, so in the garbage it went, because clearly the difference between a safe flight and taking the whole plane down is somewhere between one and two Bic lighters, and adequate security to prevent such an explosive device is handing the lighter off to the guy sitting next to me.

WTF?
