I just read in the paper yesterday that they were going to not check for lighters anymore and that they'd be OK in carry-on. I'll have to see if I can find a link to the article.

Looks like torch lighters are still no-no, but generic Bic lighters are going to be OK starting in early August.

Most previous posts covered it, but here is a link to the TSA page about the lifting of the lighter ban on August 4, 2007. The torch lighters are still banned as carry-ons, but can be transported in a DOT approved container - I believe there are currently 3 on the market.
