It sure would be nice if there were *one* definitive source of information on this topic.

The TSA website
http://www.tsa.gov/public/display?content=0900051980068395
still says (as of 10:00AM EDT 7/21/2004)
"Camp Stoves - Can travel as carry-on or checked luggage only if empty of all fuel and cleaned such that vapors and residue are absent. Simply emptying the fuel container is insufficient as flammable vapors remain."

Unfortunately, there is no "last updated on X date" on this page, so either (1) those who reported that the rules recently changed had actually encountered a clerk who did not know the rules, or (2) the TSA is slow to update their website.
Wanna take bets which is correct? Maybe both?
