A year or two after 9-11 we traveled to Fairbanks, while there my wife picked up 3 books of gopher matches at one of the restaurants there. No problem at Fairbanks but when we tried to board our connecting flight in Seattle a TSA guy stopped her and asked what she was doing with them; she said she collected them and he told she could keep one and we got on.

I've always suspected his lighter had gone empty and he needed a light for his next smoke break.
