In their response, the TSA linked to a blog post on its site from earlier this year in which they addressed rumors about books being screened during security checks. But this was only a test, the TSA said, and travelers no longer have to remove books from bags for screening.
How did this mixup happen, you ask?
It's unclear. But The Vergepoints to a set of TSA travel tips from last year's Comic-Con that may have led to the United mishap.
The guidelines told travelers to carry comics in their carry-on, along with brochures, or magazines. But it didn't say comics hadto be removed from checked bags.
Online, people had a field day with the alleged rule.
