Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your perspective and information in the other thread and this one about what mental illness can mean to us badly-informed laypersons, and advocating for treatment that would benefit both the sufferers and society in general? Please keep up the good work, the lurkers like reading your posts. ---

If not, is anyone else wondering why the flight crew is allowed to have them? > [@LurkMeister](#): > > TSA recently lifted the restriction on passengers bringing lighters through the security checkpoints and onto the planes. A couple of years ago, I took a flight with the following restrictions: - no throwaway lighters allowed on the plane at all, - matches allowed only in checked luggage, - refillable lighters not allowed in checked luggage, must be carried by passengers. I really should have taken pics of the noticeboards… the security implications still make my temples hurt. ---
