This poor woman - how humiliating. But who lights a match on an airplane?!

So much for security. How the heck did she get matches on the plane in the first place?

Lighters are prohibited. Matches are not. You can bring up to 4 books of matches on your person or in your carry on.

If she'd have done the right thing and just given the guy next to her the 'evil eye' glare, and tsk tsk'd a few times, she'd have been home free. How embarrasing to bring down the whole plane.

I'm currently reading Predator, but the crazies are still out there in droves.
Buen viaje.

I think Bill was trying to tell me he would NOT light a match!

I wonder if Howard Stern can get through security wearing his Fartman costume.

Also, I wonder if security will allow you to carry Beano on board.

"You can bring up to 4 books of matches in your carryon".

Hmmm....just imagine what 4 terrorists could do with 16 books of matches and wearing jeans that had been soaked in kerosene!
