Last summer I flew out of Newark Liberty Airport, final destination was Kansas City, stopover in Atlanta.
I packed a large purse I don't normally use, but it makes a good camera bag.
It went through the X-ray/security thing in its little tray, I gathered it and my flipflops(yea, now we even take off flipflops to have them checked out) and got on the plane.
Atlanta Airport has a smoking room. My stopover was 2 hours, so I take a seat and reach into the bag and...what have we here? A Bic lighter. Everyone else sitting there had matches, maybe. I was queen of the smoking room
Good thing they have those rules against bringing lighters onboard....
And when I went to buy a bottle of water, they take the cap, inform you you must get rid of the bottle before boarding....yea, whatever....I got my lighter-screw you!
