I would note that it would be next to impossible to justify any kind of massive difference, such as... oh... Nashville adding red bonnet-style hats to the prohibited items list, or something, and Seattle deciding that only Hefty-brand plastic bags can be used to take LGA through the checkpoint.
And that is why I didn't understand the gallon bags being permitted at one airport and not others. It generally fits both your examples (less restrictive, and one type/brand of bag) I tend to believe what you and gsoltso post here and I think that you both have good intentions with your presence here.
I can understand someone misinterpreting a new rule or directive and mistakenly posting information, but when we see it stated several times it becomes really frustrating and I at least become mistrustful of information I read here. The same holds true for things on the tsa.gov website which are contradicted in the field.
Again, I appreciate your input and your feedback, but it often just reaffirms what I have been feeling.
