The TSA has never published a publicly available regulation containing the limitation, but since it's in a Security Directive, it's the rule.

I don't why you persist in posting incorrect information concerning the allowable number of carryon bags, but each time you do, someone will probably counter with facts. And the fact is that the TSA limits the number of carryons permitted. Airlines are free to further limit it, but the 1+1 rule is federal, not airline.
You know, I'm getting tired of you saying that I am posting misinformation. I know what the TSA rules state. But I'm telling you what ACTUALLY happens everyday on the checkpoint. And I'm telling you that if the airlines ticket checker lets you through with 10 bags, the TSA isn't going to say anything unless there is a prohibited item in them. I see it EVERYDAY. NEVER have I seen the TSA mention anything to anyone about the number of bags they have.
