Next time, just drive

The insanity continues with the US Air Travel system, as today was officially the day the TSA banned lighters from aircraft. Because after all, "Terrorists constantly seek innovative means to cause harm, and this requires appropriate risk mitigation".

Additionally, this ban applies to your checked luggage as well. You know, the place where it's perfectly legitimate for you to carry an Uzi.

Welcome to the slippery slope, folks.
