That is quite clear to me, isn't it to you?
What is absolutely clear to me is the number of postings, from people who are in a position to know, that there has been NO CHANGE to BA procedures.
There is only one exception - the details of which others know better than I - which is for locations where the FAA might get hysterical.
You can put whatever interpretation you like on that. But to me, it suggests that the exception is a response to possible FAA hysteria, not an acknowledgement that anything's wrong with the procedures.
