Along with Chris' post about having Strike-Anywhere matches available because of people's familiarity with them, I vote for mini-lighters, too. <br><br>I breeze through airport security without a hitch with Bic mini-lighters, whereas SAW matches could raise some eyebrows because of their incendiary qualities. <br><br>(BTW, I don't think they're sold in my state because they're considered HAZMAT. I have to get mine out of state.)<br><br>I've never had a lighter lose any fluid after being at altitude, either. <br><br>Face it, I'm lazy and would much rather flick my Bic than use a magnesium block or a Spark-Lite. :-)
