Hmmm . . . that's about the time I stopped flying, so I guess I stopped paying attention. But, windproof lighters only. (Zippo makes several different kinds, so the fact that they specified "windproof" is probably significant.) That's great if it can go in carry-on. I had a friend who lost one he was pretty fond of out of checked luggage. It's a nifty little product, though, and a great sales stragedy for Zippo -- I've never seen any other approved container. And, of course, one has to hope the dice roll in their favor with the individual manning the checkpoint.
