Still Wondering

TSA says lighters are dangerous. TSA, as part of Homeland Security Service, is never wrong. Then TSA allows up to 265,216 lighters to board planes at just this one airport last year. I do not recall a a single news report of an incident involving a lighter that boarded at Logan last year. Why does this cause me to not believe other things TSA sez? Like "Your 101 ml bottle of water is a Serious National Security Threat to that plane over there, but the 10,000 pounds of cargo in the hold that TSA did not screen is No Problem." Just wondering. . .
