So as of August 4th we can bring lighters on airplanes but not a large bottle of shampoo or large bottles of baby formula, seems to make perfect sense, NOT.   It is truly amazing how much time and money was spent confiscating lighters, unfortunately just the sign of our times.  This one really makes no sense though, you can bring on small tools, small scissors and screwdrivers HOWEVER they give you plastic utensils instead of metal ones. Go figure…
