[Philmont]: Lighters Added to Prohibited Items List

Just want to make everyone aware that the Transportation Safety
Administration has banned all lighters from the secure areas of the nation's
airports. The following is from the TSA website, http://www.tsa.gov/public/
--Bob Schaettle

"In response to a provision in The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004, TSA has added all lighters to its Prohibited Items
List  which means they will soon be prohibited past the security
checkpoints at the nations airports. The ban is effective immediately, but
TSA will not begin enforcement action until Thursday, April 14, 2005. On
that date, lighters will be treated as any other prohibited item and
passengers will need to surrender them to the TSA or leave them in their
vehicle or with someone who is not traveling."
