I juts got home form Des Moines and noticed a new sign at DSM stating that beginning April 17th (or maybe the 14th, I can’t remember exactly) lighters will not be allowed in carry-on luggage. Bout darn time! I’ve been complaining about the logic of this one for a while now. (Remember, the “shoe bomber” who tried to ignite his sneakers with a lighter. He’s the source of the shoe removal in airports but they still continued to allow lighters. Go figure…)
