Might be time to throw a padded mailer into your carry-on as well. Put your name & address plus plenty of postage on it. You might be able to toss it into a mailbox somewhere outside the secured permiter of the x-ray machines.

Yeah, they gaveme the option, but my luggage was already checked, and I didn't want to miss the flight. So, bye bye lighter.Quote:

You're apparently allowed two or three books of cardboard matches.
Or you could quit! :roflmao

Had I known this place could be so entertaining, I would have joined a long time ago.:roflmao
I could wreak a heck of a lot more havoc with a couple of books of matches than with my Zippo, had I been inclined to do so. As for quitting, I did make a promise to a certain young lady that I'd do it before my 30th, but I still have 3 productive years until then :D
