    Angry More Fun Laws for Travellers! No Lighters!

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...s&sid=84439559

    Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiist!!! This is going to be really annoying. I always have lighters popping up in my purse. These things happen when one works in a bar. I hope no one is flying in the next week or so!

    Leave it to the Democrats to find new items worthy of banning.

    I missed the part about the Democrats being solely responsible for this new rule

    Really. The TSA, which is headed by a person appointed by the REPUBLICAN administration developed this rule! WTF?

    Hey, can't we just compromise and hate Republicans AND Democrats?

    That's OK, I don't smoke and it's been a long time since I've been to a Journey concert.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Like most attempts at banning, the author of the bill is a Democrat.

    And FYI, I don't like Republicans much either. I'd rather see the Constitution Party in charge.

    Remember the little part in "Farenheit 9/11" where Michael Moore shows "Somebody" (Big Tobacco) making it possible to bring lighters and matches on the plane?
    I'll never forget Richard Reid's ugly fricking mug scowling in the back seat of a police cruiser on the evening news because he couldn't get his shoe bomb lit fast enough.

    You can still take matches....I smoke...and was always surprised we could take lighters. I can modify mine (as I'm sure we all have) to make a pretty nice damn torch with no problem. Good decision and long overdue.

    How about until we fill our skies with clouds of pollution. Then we'll never see stars again. That's close enough, right?

    Heh I totally used to do the torch thing. Since '00, I've had a very nice engraved zippo that Hubby got me so I don't use disposables anymore. It was great though!

    I've always wondered why lighters were allowed on planes in the first place too. Just an accident (or not an accident) waiting to happen.

    Yeah, but I'll still work at getting them in the White House. The 2-party bullshit has frozen our country's progress. Those self-serving bastards in Congress have abandoned us. I want them out, along with the alphabet soup of agencies that have no business even existing.

    I want the power of government back in the hands of the states, just as our founding fathers intended.
