Common lighters are permitted in carry-on baggage, while torch lighters (which are typically used to light pipes and cigars) are not. Neither type of lighter is permitted in checked bags. For more information, see the TSA Web site. Q. May I bring needlepoint or knitting needles on the plane? In most cases, yes, but TSA officers may confiscate your needles at their discretion if they think the needles could be used as weapons. Your best bet is to pack knitting needles that are no longer than 31 inches and that are made of bamboo or plastic (rather than metal). For more information, see the TSA Web site.
