Annoying Legislation

Soooo the TSA has made yet another decree.

No lighters shall be brought on board an airplane.

This falls under the category of "annoyance" because I see the reasoning behind it. I just don't like having to leave my trusty Dupont lighter at home when I'm heading overseas to meet with friends and to enjoy a cigar or five.

How is this going to be enforced? Where is the accountability (regarding sticky-fingered TSA inspectors)? And what happens if I'm in Paris or Seoul and I happen to purchase a Dupont? What happens then?

More questions than answers. That's why it's an annoyance...
