Hijacking planes with...empty lighter cases?

The TSA recently prevented an owner of a zippo-lighter camera from taking the case on board.

Note: the lighter is not a lighter -- it's a camera.

Note: just the lighter case was disallowed. The empty case only was prohibited.

I have a new favorite term: the "TSA Mindless Idiocy Scale". (from link).
