What you are saying and the what the website is saying, while not explicitly contradictory, does not seem to be consistent.
I do not write the TSA web-site, so I can not answer you. I can tell you that there are many parts to RBS, and not all of them are being test at all airports. If you note on the link it also list DEN as a place where children can leave their shoes on, yet I know nothing nor heard nothing about that airport regarding children and AIT.
In another thread (which I think is closed or move) someone accused Pistole of lying, noting video of a child being patted down. The implication was that Pistole said children would not be patted down. Well, that is not true. Pistole has said that more efforts will be made to clear children before a pat down is conducted. This policy on the web-site confirms that, and that is all.
There are other components of RBS that are not list on this site, but that does not mean they are, lets say, in the works. To claim that if such policy is not list on the web-site, therefor, it does not exist, is faulty logic.
ADD: I will also point out, as noticed by many FT members, the TSA web-site has sometimes not been the most accurate, as when ice was allowed through the checkpoint, but not noted on the site, for just one example.
