I'm surprised our goverment has missed a money making oppertunity.

Instead of tossing the lighters out, what they need to do is move them over to the security exit on the other site of security - where people exit the security area to get their baggage after getting off the plane. I'm stunned that they haven't been selling the "tossed out" lighters for fifty cents a pop to the smokers who don't have lighters.

After reading the article, I was surprised when it stated that it cost them 4 million to get rid of lighters. I would figure someone would come in and take them off their hands. They auction off other seized goods, they should have auctioned off lots of 25-50k.

Sweet! Good news for the smokers.

Sweet, less waste.

I've been taking lighters on flights for months now, in plain view.
Was it just a USA thing?

good news for FREEONES ;)

that's good news :thumbsup

I always snuck my lighters on, never got caught, lol

Oh, Joy.

Maybe next week, they'll give us back the power to bring nail-clippers on planes... and hair gel, too, maybe, even....

And after that - maybe reinstate our constitutional right to need to be charged with a crime in order to be held in prison.




Or maybe I'm just dreaming... not sure what we'd do with that much freedom. Hair gel, lighters, nail-clippers, _and_ freedom from our government's oppression, as our Founding Fathers intended?

That might be reaching.

/sarcasm

i've gone through with so many lighters, so many times...

I wish you could still bring coffee or water, or even bring peanut butter on crackers.

didn't even know this was a problem lol

Should not be a problem aslong as racial profiling come into place.

I could never understand that they take away finger nail clippers but when you get a mixed drink you get a stirrer that you could kill with. southwest would give you a huge red stirrer that was sharp on the end. and what do you need a lighter on an airplane for?

Haha thats exactly what I wanted to post in here!!!!!!

thank god lighters cant do any damage.

everyone knows that the really dangerous shit is toothpaste and my hair spiker stuff. thats some dangerous shit.

i'm so sure you couldnt do any danger with an open flame, but that toothpaste, you may over brush the persons teeth next to you.


Bwahahaha.

I had always thought metal utensils were banned, but nope I got a hard as steel sharp fork on my flight to Vegas. You could easily stab through someone's jugular with that in a second.

what the hell are you carrying a fork around for?

they must assign them to people in costa rica

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

hehe no they gave it to me on my houston-vegas flight, hard sharp metal. I was surprised all my other flights normally it's plastic sporks.

Are laptops still banned for carry on?

never have been

thank GOd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will they unban the "No Smoking in Bathroom" ?

Now tell them to give me all my frieken calogne they took from me

Uh... what was the breast milk thing about? Why were quantities limited?
