How to deal with the confiscation of more than 20 thousand lighters every day at airport security?

I believe even friends who have never been on a plane know that lighters are not allowed to be brought when they pass the security check at the airport. We also watched Wang's movie, passed the security check and drank a big bucket of milk directly. Not to mention flammable items such as lighters. Planes are not like trains. In order to ensure the safety of passengers, lighters must not be taken on the plane. Anyone who has flown knows that there will be a basket at the airport, which will make you hand in your lighter consciously. And these lighters are handled in a special way.

One: recycling.

Some people may think that there is no cost for the airport to confiscate so many lighters every day. If you go out and resell them, you will definitely make a lot of money. Actually, it's not like this at the airport. Generally, you are not allowed to take these lighters when you get on the plane, but specialized personnel will pull these lighters to various intersections of the airport, and when you get off the plane, you can recycle them when someone wants to smoke. This is called taking from the people and using it for the people.

Two: the staff use it themselves.

For some strict airports, they must be handled in a unified way, but for some small airports, if they are not very strict, some staff can keep them for themselves. After all, lighters cost a few dollars, and no one will care too much.

Three: passengers come to pick it up.

Although it is said that you can't take a lighter on the plane, it is ok to use some very cheap lighters. Some lighters are expensive or meaningful. Then if the passengers get off the plane, they will come back to get their things. It's just a little more trouble

When boarding the plane, there are many prohibited items that you can't take with you. You must get to know them first, or you will get into trouble and need to run one more time to get your things back.
