Okay, remember, my point isn't that this is terrorist prevention. If a terrorist wants to take a plane down, they're most likely going to find a way. I'm more worried about "psycho nutjob" prevention with the lighters. Some are probably well-versed in chemistry, but most are more likely to be pyromaniacs.
Please cite some examples of psycho nutjobs downing aircraft with butane lighters...
How many millions of flights have been made to date? Surely with non-infintesimal odds, at least one must have been done in in this fashion.
No kidding.

Could you possibly stop inflicting your bizzare internal fantasies on the rest of us?
I'm also concerned about the danger that lighters and matches pose to our society. Maybe congress should regulate the sale of bic lighters and matches. Perhaps a background check with a waiting period would help keep these dangerous implements of ignition out of the hands of the "pyromaniacs" and "psycho nutjobs". We should form a group to lobby congress and march on Washington.
