Yes, I know what I have heard, and I expected there was some change to the policy. But apparently an official press secretary has stated that there was no change to the policy, and the old policy still stands, and TSA has never amended their official stance on the website. All of those things need to be researched and corrected, and as I understand it, the OP may be in a position to do something about it. I would at least like clarification now that an explicit contradiction from an official source has arisen.
