How about securing the borders instead?
For whatever the reason they seem more interested in making the lives of law abiding CITIZENS as difficult as possible. Illegal aliens are free to enter at will, but God help the guy who just wants a cigarette.
No, no, no, you simply don't understand national security priorities. We must focus on LIGHTERS first, THEN the borders. Only after our planes are lighter-free will the country be even close to safe from terrorism.

Cause they dont smoke?
Sorry couldn't resist. But I agree, take away lighters from legal citizens but leave illegals in this country who bring illegal drugs with them. Hey who left the back door open?
Gee now I feel much more secure.
