Lighten Up.
Don't assume that just because you're a military service member, the new law prohibiting cigarette lighters an airplanes don't apply to you. It does, according to the Pentagon. The law, which took effect April 14, applies not only to commercial airline travelers, but military and civilian passengers on chartered U.S. military overseas flights. You can't bring "anything that produces a flame," TSA says. Except matches, for some reason. You can bring four books of those, if you like.
