A respected moderator on FlyerTalk, SanDiego1K, came up with an interesting idea for this and other new threads here in TS/S. And Bart graciously agreed to the plan.
When he has updated information regarding a change in the prohibitions on TSA carry-ons, he'll post the info in this thread and we'll update the thread title with a new date to indicate there is new info for your perusal.
So watch the date in this thread for updates as to the changing reg's we have to deal with at the TSA checkpoints.

What are you talking about TSA will letting leave shoes on go through the metal detector at checkpoint? They are relaxed due to under new security measures. I only one for me that I am allowed leave the shoes on while I was traveling out from PHX. Some that I know TSA employees at terminal 3 north. I didn't have anything problems my shoes.

Thanks Bart for your contributions.
It's hard to keep up with the latest news and I practically live in this forum. So we want to make this forum as user-friendly as possible for those who just check it occasionally.

Can I bring an OPEN tube of a prescription cream for my skin? I have the box for the tube with the label from the drugstore. I'm only worried about the tube's being open here.
Can I bring an OPEN (3oz) tube of an over-the-counter cream if I have a letter from my dermatologist with me?
I have no problem having these items tested in any way you like.
Bart, can you relocate to RDU? I have not met any TSA folks there as sensible as you seem to be. Thanks for your efforts here.

New Regulations Discriminate against people who need Orthotics!

Please TSA add some sanity to these regulations! I need to know if there is a way around this new ban (Thank God I wasn't forced to throw away my orthotics last Thursday morning like I did $60 or $70 of other stuff!).

That could ruin my entire trip. And I do not feel comfortable checking expensive items anyway.
