But insisting on carrying smoking materials when smoking is prohibited is also absurd -- it doesn't say if he was keeping it on his person or trying to put it in checked baggage, but it seems unlikely he would have had any problem if it was checked.

Just for the record you are still allowed to carry on a plane personal smoking items, eg., a butane lighter. You can't use them of course, on US flights, but there is no prohibition. [A camping tank of butane fuel is a no-no] I don't see how plant matter can be used as a weapon unless the stems are waaay too big :-)
