usa test requirements

i got some conflicting info - got this email and it says antigen not accepted and i confirmed at that time with the emirates.com website but a few hours later they updated website to the following


which states antigen is accepted if transiting through dubai. i called emirates and the person that answered read it together with me and tried to say only if connecting in athens or milo an but i pointed our “or transiting through dubai”. then she said says “rapid testing not valid if in transit to dubai” but i pointed out it says in line before just means needs to be done at point of departure eg can’t do it on the plane or in dubai. anyone have any comments eg denied boarding because i took some emed binaxnow tests with me before i left for the maldives and resort charges $200 per person for pcr which is a waste if not necessary
