This has been the case for a number of years.
It is up to each carrier to enforce this regulation.
Wow, DHS? Do you know where this is documented?
I found this House Bill introduced in June, but I don't think that would have passed and been signed by POTUS that quickly
Additionally, I haven't yet found this restriction on the TSA site.j
EDIT: found the restriction, but not the fine.
