Bambi, I see that lighters heads your list -- with more than twice as many lighers being confiscated than sharp objects. This, despite the fact that lighters were only banned in April.

I am one of those "people that don't believe they're dangerous." Can you please explain to me how they became more dangerous on April 14 than they were on April 13.
