Does not sound like the same screening in the US. No way would the lighters in the tray be allowed on a US flight.
It sounds like airports in other countries are not screening as tightly for US bound flights as airports in the US.


Yep, same as if flying to US, not from/in US (in case that wasn't clear).

I was searched more thoroughly flying out of Washington Dulles, but TSA security requirements seem a bit silly if they're not applied to inbound flights over US soil too. Then again, TSA security requirements just seem a bit silly anyway.
