Carry-on Aerosol Gel vs. TSA?

I use Sebastian's Aerogel and can't for the life of me figure out if it will be okay as a carry-on item (in my cute little kippie bag, of course).

Reasons I think it's allowed:
  1. TSA's page on 3-1-1 about carry-ons shows an image of an aerosol can in the kippie bag.
  2. Same page says, "All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers." and
  3. "All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag." (emphasis mine)

Reason I'm not sure:
  1. The funky wording on the Prohibited items page makes me worry.

There's more "Go Ahead and carry it!" stuff than denial stuff, so I thought I would ask for direct FT input.

If you travel with aerosols, have you had issues with TSA considering your aerosol a banned item, particularly at SEA and SFO?

Thanks!
