torch and cutter, in flight carry on?

[aich75013]

Last time I went to Vegas, I tossed a cheap cutter in my travel humi which was in my carry-on.
I didn't have any issues, but I didn't really care if they took it. I wasn't going to risk my Palio or Xikar and I'm not going to argue with the TSA Agent.

I was meeting a friend in Vegas who had a lighter, so I didn't bother trying to take one. Backup plan was to buy a cheapie there.
