We're dealing with two beasts here ... the idiots in Congress, who decided lighters were dangerous, and the idiots at TSA HQ, who feel shoes are dangerous. And the third factor, too: the TSA admin who felt they had better go ahead and ban all lighters to avoid confusion over which Congress allowed and which they denied. All idiots, of course, but different idiots nonetheless.
