I called them and was read what is posted on the website. She did say that the SCUBA equipment rules have not changed in quite a while. When I asked about empty tanks vs full tanks, she said that individual screeners my interpet the rules differently. Her recomendation was not to bring tanks, because they my not make it to your destination.

I feel so much safer flying now!
