We flew with Virgin MCO - MAN the day before yesterday (i.e. the day things were announced). The following page on Virgin's website (see the US to UK section) describes exactly what we were allowed to do by the TSA:

We expected a HUGE queue at MCO security but were astonished to see no queue at all and we sailed through. The only change we noticed was they now x-ray all children's shoes (they used to only x-ray selected adult shoes - ones with chunkier heels).

The TSA were now hand searching all hand baggage at the departure gate but there was a big team of them so it did not slow things down from what we could see.

It was a total non-event and had the inbound flight not been late arriving I'm sure we would have departed on-time [msnsmile].
