Also, am I correct that a lighter cannot be brought onboard?

I flew out to California last month and I took my Palio in my pocket along with this paper in my carry-on, just in case I had problems. The TSA (Tear Sh!t Apart) Screeners did not say anything about the cutter. Just remember some of those screeners think they are gods and can make up there own rules. If you have problems just stay calm, be professional about it and show them the paper or ask to speak to a supervisor. Torch lighters are prohibited.

Interesting- no hand grenades allowed either on board or checked!

Oh, be sure to put all your shampoo and stuff in zip lock bags, my bored TSA people decided to uncap them and leave them so, making a gooey mess of my toiletries bag and some clothes that got leaked on. Nice folks, those TSA %^$#!@*&

I usually place a cheap cutter in my checked luggage, and hook a cheap punch on my keyring. I'll take a cheap soft flame lighter in my carry on junk as well.

If any of it is stolen, I'm not out anything of value. And in my opinion, steal is exactly what some of these TSA people do.
