When posters hold themselves out as government employees, is it too much to ask that they post accurate statements of the rules? Not talking about your opinions - talking about the rules as posted on your employer's website.

In post #3, you posted the following:

Which is directly contradicted by several portions of the TSA website, quoted in previous posts. "No rules"?? Nope. The TSA has plenty of rules limiting carryons.

The limitations on the amount of bags allowed and their size is indeed an airline policy. Why would the TSA limit the number of bags you have or their size, your not getting on our airplane. We could care less if you have a hundred bags, the amount is not our concern. We are only concerned with the contents.
"Get my facts straight"? Uhh, I covered this in post #30 (several posts prior to your post quoted above). Perhaps you overlooked it. I said "Nope. It was enacted by the FAA about six weeks prior to the legislation creating the TSA."

"Get my facts straight"?? Guess the hue and cry for courtesy and civility only run one direction.

Have a nice day, officer.
