We just got back from the Dominican Republic and carried on our Regs in reg bags in a backpack. Did not have any issues with TSA but we flew USA3000 ( a vacation airline so maybe the people were more familiar with gear ). Have also flown on American to Florida and did the same (regs in their bags in a backpack). No problems either way with TSA. We do take the regs out of the backpack and put each one in a bin.
If you live close to the airport you can go and ask to speak to a TSA supervisor (bring the regs) and get his/her ruling Get his/her name and they may give you a note as well to show its ok (or not ok). A friend at TSA said the proactive approach usually works very well on special things. Just don't show up at peak travel time.
Good luck and good diving.
