Are you guys really paying somebody to take care of the lighters ???!!

Why don't you just leave them there, on a tray, for arriving passengers to take (after their own have been confiscated at the airport of departure). You know "take a lighter, give a lighter" sort of thing.
Four millions saved and happier passengers, what do you say ?
Oh, and cut me a $40,000 check, please.
