TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION REVISES POLICY ON LIGHTERS ABOARD COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT

Story Summary:

The Transportation Security Administration has announced a policy change: New, unfilled pocket lighters can be packed in checked luggage on commercial flights. In April, the TSA had banned all lighters from being taken onboard aircraft.

For the makers of Zippo pocket lighters, which are sold without fuel - this is good news, as it is for collectors and customers.

This revised policy applies only to checked luggage. Lighters are still prohibited in the passenger cabin.
