Understood ND Sol, while I don't disagree in pricipal, they are still not doing their jobs- Lighters are strictly prohibited, according to their own literature!
Less O2- They will do anything they can get away with at IAD- Too busy is always the excuse... Same thing with the ALL shoes mandate- It's not required under CFR49 unless the threatcon is raised, but if you ask them the direct question and push for an answer, amazingly you seem to be "randomly" picked for a more indepth screening every time...
