According the TSA's former rules, baby's are not allowed to be hold by TSOs or other pax. So where to put the kid? It seems a logistical nightmare for parents as well as TSO's.

Holidays are coming. In the next two months literally millions of parents are going to fly with their babies/toddlers. Most of them infrequent traveler, never even heard about AIT. Should not TSA advices them? On the website, by flyers, signs at the airport whatever? (Versus angry TSO's barking them conflicting orders at the airport.)

(Having baby grandsons, my question is genuine. I really do not know what to do, and I am a very experienced flyer.)
