From what I have read, the TSA did not want the lighter prohibition. Remember it was a couple of Democratic senators that pushed for it as an attachment to another bill. It passed. What does dismay me about the implementation is that the TSA went further than the law required in not only banning butane lighters, but all lighters (eg. Zippos).
