The linked page has other links with more detail (such as it is.) Lady JDiver must fly transcon tomorrow with prescribed ophthalmological medications (eye drops.) It will be interesting how it goes - we've done what we can.
She needs these drops to be available, has prescription labels on the boxes, the containers are quite small and she has printed out a copy of the TSA's own regs. If they are disallowed I will take the time and effort to file complaints with the TSA, airline, Congressperson and Senator.
