Leave your fancy propane burning cigar and pipe lighting torches at home and don't buy one on vacation. They won't allow those even in your checked baggage. Those things cost $30 to as much as $400 and TSA will make a passenger surrender it. I saw one guy almost go nuts when TSA confiscated his $400 torch. At least they left him his cigars. ;)
I imagine there's a safe way to mail or ship these torches home to yourself. I'm not a smoker, so I've never looked into it.
I imagine part of the problem, for some of these passengers, is they'd probably miss their flight while running around the airport looking for a way to send their prohibited items home.
