Categories, Kent...categories! *grin* Did you ever study Venn diagrams? A little realistic labeling will show that the class of "stuff that can be used to start fires" has multiple entries that include several types of 'matches', as well as flints, magnifying glasses, camera batteries (ever watch Les Stroud on "Survivor Man"?), and rubbing sticks together.

You CLC members don't wish, I'll bet, to be doing luggage checks for tiny little bows & shredded tinder at airports. I thought not!

Well, at least you provide a few of the 'lighter' moments in this excessively serious discussion.
