Lighters and Flying

While you can't fly with a torch, you can with a soft flame butane lighter (at least at the moment - they change the rules fairly often).

I just carry a cheap Bic type lighter when I fly. I toss it in my carry on and haven't had a problem yet. If some TSA person did take it, I'm not out anything.

Not as nice as a torch, but they do the trick just fine.

I put my torch lighters in one of my jean pockets when I check my luggage. It has never been taken and I have never had anything said to me.
