The initial policy was 3.0 ounces. A whole campaign was then rolled out based on the 3.0 ounce restriction. It wasn't until later, when TSA found itself running into a problem due to the Europeans restricting 100 ml rather than 90 ml, TSA revised the policy to 3.4 because that's about as close to 100 ml as you can get.

There is no conspiracy. There is no attempt to deceive or mislead. It was a typical bureaucratic foul-up. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be angry about it; you should. But call it what it really is.
Never mentioned any conspiracy. Laziness maybe, but no conspiracy. The issue with documents not in agreement on a government website shows management ineptitude and a callous disregard for accuracy when people pointed out to TSA management the glaring errors and TSA did nothing to correct those errors.
