My point is that it is very unlikely anyone will try. There is exactly nothing stopping anyone from packing an airplane bathroom with alcohol soaked paper towels and lighting it on fire; and yet it has not ever happened. The TSA is a colossal waste of time and money - the more ways that it can be pointed out the better.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoI don't like the TSA's approach either, but this isn't a very good argument. They stopped disallowing lighters on flights for this reason; they don't want to care about the small threats and focus on finding...you know...terrorists. The change hasn't soaked in completely yet, but their is hope they'll do the right thing eventually. It would be fairly easy to put your fire out with a fire extinguisher. But I'd rather not fly with you anyways :)
- raldi 14y agoAren't matches still allowed?
- bdunbar 14y agoThey were until you just mentioned it.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoIf the TSA allows lighters now, I imagine they also allow matches.
- dalke 14y agoYes, they are. "One book of safety (non-strike anywhere) matches are permitted as carry-on items, but all matches are prohibited in checked baggage." Even better - matches aren't easily picked up by the X-ray machines.
