My point is that for those who are seriously stressing about getting essential items confiscated, check the stuff in your freakin' suitcase.
Yeah, the suitcase may not get there exactly when you do but it'll eventually show up and you'll be reunited with your stuff.
Trying to get a hard and fast "Yes or No" from TSA isn't going to happen.
As Bart and others have stated, there's too much individual TSA discretion nowadays as to what's allowed and what isn't.
This BS isn't getting fixed in the short-term so if in doubt, check it rather than lose it.
