According to Gizmodo Australia a new rule has just been made public by the FAA after a long delay. It reportedly was communicated to airlines previous to this date and has already been made effective in 6000 airplanes across the US commercial fleet as of Friday, March 4. But apparently neither the government nor any of the airlines have notified passengers about these changes.
According to the report officials think oxygen generators in lavatories are a “security risk” and terrorists may try to use this equipment to take an airplanes down, turning the oxygen canisters into explosive devices.
