Reply to comment by Gunch_Bandit in TIL the first media report about the shift from lighters to the cellphone was a U2 concert in Chicago in 2005. by PlasterBaby

safer and easier to handle tho

plus airport security lets phones though

I'll admit, it sucks to hold a lit lighter for longer than a few seconds.

Airport security doesn't allow lighters?

I've never not had lighters on me when flying.

Is this a US thing?
