Are wet wipes subject to the TSA's 3-1-1 Liquids Rule?

Thankfully wet wipes are not yet subject to the 3-1-1 rule. The rule applies to:

Liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes

Wet wipes don't fit in any of these categories.

I always travel with wet wipes in my carry-on and I have always been allowed on the plane with them.

Nevertheless, what happened twice in the last week (May 2016), as I was flying domestically within Schengen, was that my packet of wet wipes was mistaken for a water bottle by the officer behind the X-ray scanner. My bag was therefore hand checked by another officer who let me go without problems and with the wipes. This is to say that recently security checks might have been tightened and, if travelling with wet wipes in your carry-on, your luggage could be subject to a manual check by airport security. This happened at Luxembourg airport and Rome Fiumicino.

I routinely travel with pre-moistened wipes of various kinds in my carry-on bags. Not only does the TSA not consider them a liquid, but neither do U.K. security (e.g., at LHR), which is far stricter than the TSA. While wipes contain liquid, they are not themselves liquid. Put more simply, there's no visible liquid when examining a moistened wipe.

I would assume so. Since baby wipes are allowed, according to the TSA website, I do not see the difference between baby wipes and wet wipes.
