I can see why they would ban the torch lighters. Speaking of torch lighters, this thread got me thinking about replacing one of these that I lost. (not to the TSA, just lost it) I used it to do an emergency solder on a radiator once. Little hint, drain the coolant if you ever need to solder a radiator. Seems so obvious in retrospect.
I think the issue is liquid fuel that could possibly leak.
