Wow that sucks....curious was it taken apart? I always travel with mine taken apart and never had an issue. I always thought they just wanted to make sure it didn't torch up if clicked and by having the insert out, it can't do that obviously. I guess it truly is their discretion.

I really don’t remember if it was taken apart or not, I do remember him clicking it a few times and saying it was still a torch even if it didn’t have fuel. This was the same time I was asked to turn on my garmin nav because the agent didn’t know what it was. Like mentioned it’s up to the agent, I made it through one airport and not the transfer with it.
