Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 WASHINGTON - Starting Thursday, air travelers will have to leave their lighters at home. Unlike guns, knives and other dangerous items that a passenger cannot carry aboard but may stow in checked bags, lighters are banned everywhere on a plane. The rule change is expected to produce a large number of seizures of lighters even though airports, airlines and the government have been telling travelers for the past 45 days about the impending ban. The ban does not include matches. Passengers still may carry aboard a plane up to four books of safety matches. Not allowed on planes are " strike anywhere " matches, which can be struck using any abrasive surface. http://story.news./news?tmpl=story & cid=519 & ncid=718 & e=10 & u=/ap/20050414/ap_on_re_us/air_travelers_lighters Dear List Members, Dasha is Ve/Sa/Me/Ra/Sa.
