Is a Fanny Pack a "Carry-On" Item?

Recently, however, instead of the backpack, I have started carrying on a small rollerbag + a small tote, and have now recently been told twice that my fanny pack must be removed or combined as a "third" item. Is this some recent rule change? I have always considered my fanny pack equivalent to a "pocket" in one's clothing... right?
What's up with this?

Fanny pack worn under sweater or jacket isn’t a problem, but it’s a problem when seen in plain sight by the gate agents? Weird. If an item can be worn during taxi, take-off and landing, then it shouldn’t be a problem any more than a coat.

Okay, then.
