The trick with lighters is to take 2. Even if they find one, they'll rarely look for a second
I know at least in the US lighters are permitted...  http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items

ETA- just saw moish's post, but mine has a link :P

I've taken things out when they were overweight only to slip it back in seconds after weighing it right in front of them!

once sitting in mke (was abt 45 mins before boarding) i kept feeling someone staring at me,and i looked up and it was some old Arab guy, so i stare back. eventually he breaks eye contact, so i go back to minding my own business, then when i feel it again i stare back (if he can stare so can i) this goes on and off till they announce priority boarding, so i go to my seat. the plane starts filling up and i see the Arab fellow and his wife are on my flight. i go back to my own business, and then i notice, hes heading right to me. turns out we sat next to each other and then proceeded to talk about; Arabs, Jews and America, just what i wanted

I've spent many flights this year talking about Israel/Middle East, Judaism/Kippah (I stopped talking about tztitzis a while ago) and Most recently about Chanukah Gelt (thank goodness for The Mishpacha Junior I would never had known so much about different Chanukah Gelt Minhagim)

Last summer I was at the airport at 6;30am, having an extra 15-20 minutes, I decided to wear my talis and tefilin and daven at the gate...
But to my good luck, there was a Christian missionary waiting to board the same flight, he came to me 'asking' questions, driving me crazy.
And well, a few minutes after departure I noticed him on the next aisle on my row. Oh that was an annoying trip.
At that time I promised to never ever become Christian...
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

I sat next to some French  actress coming from Paris to US - I was very surprised when she ordered kosher. I asked her why, she said kosher always comes first :D

If you'd like I can PM you some on liners that always gets them to stop talking. I think if I post them here it'll get deleted.

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Never tried this, but I've heard if they really get on your nerves, you can say that G-D told you not to talk to them, or s/t like that.
