I’ve always put my cutters and lighters in my check-in and when I first got them, used the TSA approved lighter cases. Have since misplaced / forgotten where they are so I just throw them in nekked. No issues either way.
Carryon. I have those cases to check in in but sometimes I fly without checking luggage.
Oddly, just boarded a ship for a cruise this morning, knew I was going through the checkpoint BS but packed some lighters anyway since smoking is permitted. They run a bag through the scanner and guy says I have a torch and he needs to take it. WTF! He’s fumbling inside and not sure where it was, so I told him to hold on I’d get it as it’s in a side pouch. As I reach in the first lighter I see is a cheap dual flame I got free at an event so I gave it and he went away happy. I had 2 other lighters in there including a very nice desktop I would’ve been pissed to lose. I can see a plane, but why no torch on a cruise ship if you’re letting other lighters on?
