But like I said who bothers to look this stuff up before flying ? Some (most ?) airports have signs by the checkin and/or security checkpoint indicating prohibited items, but as our TSA contributors rightly observe, passengers don't read signs either
All,
Thank you for the links. Next time that I have insomnia, I will read these pages. One problem that I have with this whole issue of prohibited items is the arbitrary nature of the regulation(s) allowing TSA to designate certain items as prohibited. One example is the prohibition on all lighters, but allowing 2 books of matches. The legislation did not ban all lighters, but I guess it is simpler for TSA to unilaterally ban all so that screeners do not have to differentiate between allowed and prohibited items.
