OK, so assuming it is true (and I only accept the possibility because I respect you), why was it not announced pre-Britney? Independently of the fact that this decision makes no sense, it can effectively completely change our travel procedures. Think frozen shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, water, wine (can be done at about -7 C, not too bad), juice boxes, pudding, ice cream!! Oh boy - Travelers will need padded cold-suitcases, and freezers a lot larger than those in hotel mini-bars.

Should we not have been informed? At the very least, why was the sentence regarding limitation of ice and other frozen liquids to medical needs not removed from the TSA website?
