Lighters on plane

[sinkoman]

Anybody know if I'm going to get any shit for having a lighter in my carry on?

 

[Warped]

no flammables. i bet the best thing to do is leave your lighter at home and just buy some crappy 69 cent ones wherever your going. simple as that

 

[kineaesth]

Just put it in your luggage.

This took all of 2 seconds to "bing" (Yes, I don't use google anymore):

As of August 4, 2007, in an effort to concentrate resources on detecting explosive threats, TSA will no longer ban common lighters in carry-on luggage. Torch lighters remain banned in carry-ons.

I'm actually going home, and I bought this one out here, but ended up not using it.

Seems like a waste of 2 dollars to just throw it out if I don't have to :/

 

[DEATHMASTER]

put it in your bag.

(so I can laugh when you post how long you were held up and missed your flight over $2)

 

[Dumb Dude]

put it in your bag.

(so I can congratulate you on how you landed in Honolulu with a new $2 lighter)

Fixed that for you because you apparently don't know how to read responses on a less than one page sized thread.

Because you can trust frequently changing government regulations relating to counter-terrorism to be reliable and trouble free.

Personally, I wouldn't try to get on a plane with a $2 lighter, it's just not worth a hassle or raised eyebrow of any kind. It's hard enough to get on a plane with any sort of efficiency these days.

If all fails, rectum insertion should guarantee a safe transfer. Given that you use a condom before inserting...

Okay, lets say that they change the policy overnight and they "hold him up" at the security gate. What is the worst that can happen? They'll just ask him to throw it away and that is it. It has happened to me before and I'd just toss whatever was in question (which has never been a lighter). Hell, don't they even sell lighters in all those shops that are passed the security gate anyway?

If this $2 lighter is really worth taking, do it. At worst they'll ask you to toss it, so at least try to get it on. Sheesh, bunch of naysaying pigs.

Yep... and somehow the gas release gets triggered and held in place and you start filling your anal cavities with gas.

 

[mindless_moder]

yeah i honestly wouldn't trust that , just play it safe and put it in with your luggage. Or just toss it , its not like its a zippo or something.

Just avoid egg curry.

Every time I've flown *After 2004* I've been in and out. Sure, it took a bit just because there were so many people, but I never saw any sort of pulling aside, stopping for no reason. Worst was my dad was in a gift shop with his zippo, after thinking he left it in his luggage. He had to mail it back to himself *$20, highway ribbery!*.

 

[VirusType2]

I guess I expected them to do a diving football tackle on Sinkoman.


I've been watching too many sitcoms.

That's how I read it. I'm not sure why...

Usually the worst thing that happens if you try to board planes with these banned things is that they tell you to throw them away or you can't board.

Sometimes they just don't notice. I had some darts in my bag, and I went through security at Heathrow and had no trouble.
A friend of mine forgot to take the knife out of his bag in LA and they didn't pick it up until he was departing from New York.


I have to say, it's really tiresome not being able to carry drinks and things anymore. I'm just glad they didn't keep going with the no handluggage rule.

 

[Unfocused]

They might check if he hasn't got any more up his ass.

BTW is it just a myth, or can you actually be anally violated like that by security?

Ahh, so that's what I did wrong last time.

 

[CptStern]

I walked on to a plane in florida with a lighter in my pocket. when I emptied my pockets at security the guy didnt say anything so you should be ok. if not you're out $2 OMG the humaity!

 

[sinkoman]

Made it.

And yeah, mr. stern, $2 is actually a fair bit of money for some of us. TIMES IS RUFF YO!!!

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I earn probably $3 an hour.

Not if you can afford internet access at your home.

Well, on the one hand, my mom pays for all the utilities in this household so....

On the other hand though, she just emptied my entire bank account, and took all my grad present checks to make mortgage, so I am basically broke. I have about 70 dollars to my name that wasn't in my account when she drained it, and that's it...

 

[swan_song1973]

i thought that disposables were allowed now?

 

[Letters]

All lighters except torch lighters are just fine for carrying on. They're still technically banned in checked bags, though.

 

[Warped]

seriously these are like $1.00 US here for all of them. everyone and their mother has $1 somewhere in the house. holy shit even the homeless guys have $1.00 worth of something in them...

 

[Fiberawptic]

I've seen an elderly black woman (why i brought up her race idk) with some old valuable knife in her carry on that belonged to her family. They pulled it out and just said "these arent allowed on board" and took it away... im sure with a lighter they'll do exactly the same...

Then quit smoking. Aw, but your too weak. A weak weak man. A slave to a plant.

 

[Saturos]

Prepare for anal cavity search.

I personally hate flying since the Patriot Act.
It's just shy of making people undress entirely before boarding.
Airlines definitely needs better automated screening technology to compensate for the heightened security.

**** you, I quite last month. Sorry I didn't broadcast it with another lame pity party thread. I have other uses for lighters that have noththing to do with tobbacco.

 

[VirusType2]

Quit starting fires.

 

[The Monkey]

Just put it in the check-in luggage, what's the big deal?

 

[VirusType2]

**** you, I quite last month.

But started right back up again. Come on Sinkoman, you can't fool me.

 

[sinkoman]

No actually, I ****ing didn't. Can't remember the last time I had a cigarette.

 

[VirusType2]

I can see you seem to be irritable... alright, I'll take your word for it.

Anyway that's cool. Cigarette taxes are getting outrageous, and health care isn't getting any cheaper either.

If you're 18 or older I'm pretty sure that's illegal of her.

 

[sinkoman]

Even if I were over 18, which i'm not, I still wouldn't just not let her use my money to avoid bankruptcy.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Let that mother ****er burn.
