What the guidance covers, and when

The document says “shall”Who acts: Administrator of the Transportation Security AdministrationHow: guidanceSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says

“of any breast milk, baby formula, purified deionized water for infants, and juice (as well as ice packs, freezer packs, frozen gel packs and other accessories required to cool breast milk, baby formula, and juice) that is subject to re-screening or otherwise subject to additional screening.”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The rest of the same sentence, setting the reach of the guidance. Four things are named, breast milk, baby formula, purified deionized water for infants, and juice, along with the ice packs, freezer packs, frozen gel packs and other accessories required to cool them. The guidance reaches those items where they are subject to re-screening or otherwise subject to additional screening.

What the document actually says

“of any breast milk, baby formula, purified deionized water for infants, and juice (as well as ice packs, freezer packs, frozen gel packs and other accessories required to cool breast milk, baby formula, and juice) that is subject to re-screening or otherwise subject to additional screening.”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The rules cover breast milk and baby formula. They cover clean water for babies and juice. They also cover ice packs and gel packs that keep those cold.

What this is about

Screening happens when people go through an airport check point. Sometimes a bag or an item gets checked a second time. That extra check is when these rules apply.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
