The Cigarette Is Mightier Than The Pen?

When a man tried to rob 62-year-old gas station cashier Lorraine Roth of Bethlehem, PA with a silver pen, she beat him off with a carton of cigarettes. If the TSA ever finds out that pens and cigarettes can be used as weapons, next thing you know they will require that everyone fly naked.

FWIW, the would be robber seems to have had better luck earlier holding up a nearby 7-Eleven. Maybe they were out of smokes at the time.
