That includes carry on and checked luggage.
Torch lighters in checked baggage can be OK if stored in a proper container approved by FAA.

I understand the rules, I just don't think that they make much sense. An empty lighter regardless of what kind of lighter it is, is not a danger (especially since you cannot bring any fluid/gas on a plane to fill it).

Regular lighters or a quantity of matches can cause the same damage as torch lighters... (it's all fire)
