I'd love to see this exception stay permanent. Maybe it'll be the first step toward eliminating the 311 rule entirely.

I have no doubt that they will retain the 3-1-1 restrictions — even after this coronavirus situation is no longer intense — and/or just keep playing a PR game around “medical exemption”. I would love to eat crow on this one, but I have no doubt crow isn’t on the TSA menu for me.
