This is good news.  Given the date, anyone travelling will probably
have to do some educating of the airline staff when boarding.
I'd be tempted to get approval in writing before flying. 

You should post this on rec.boats.paddle and possibly rec.backpacking
(I no longer follow the latter), since many folks would like to know
about this.

There must be some good squeaky wheels out there for this to have 
been changed.

Thanks for letting us know!
