Airport security

I’m at the airport on the free WiFi (way to go Tampa!). While going through security today there was a woman in front of me that was arguing that the Delta rep had told her that she was allowed to bring on lighters, but only if she kept them in her purse (they are, as she said, prohibited in checked luggage). The security staff held back laughs and noted that in fact she has reversed the idea–lighters are banned in carry on luggage and can only be put below in checked luggage. But the passenger was convinced that it was only logical to allow lighters in the cabin but not under. I love people!
