None of the above were properly promulgated by TSA, nor even published by them in the Federal Register.
FDA's action in clearing a CBD product has no relevance whatsoever. TSA is not trained to identify FDA-approved products, nor does it have any bearing on the "security of transportation", nor are "non-FDA-approved products" even on TSA's
last officially published prohibited items list.
And note that it's illegal for TSA to detain anyone, or anything, for any period of time, for any reason not strictly related to security screening. If they "wait for police to arrive" before finishing a screening, e.g., they're violating clearly established law (
Terry v. Ohio &
US v. Davis).
Are you suggesting that TSA must go through some formal process before changing screening policy?
I think some of these changes are indicative that TSA is in fact actively screening for drugs and we can ignore the "we don't look for drugs" as a false statement.
