If you understand what you
are allowed to bring in your carry on bag and
how to present them when you pass through
security, the airport screening process can be
much faster and easier.You will more than likely
want to carry on some small Travel Essentials such as your
toothbrush, deodorant and other items which may
not a problem, but bringing liquids or items
considered as liquids such as toothpaste can be
an issue.
As we know, you are only allowed to carry
on liquids in limited quantities through airport
security and you are also limited to a 1 Quart
bag for containing them.
Make sure you are familiar with Homeland
Security / Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) regulations.

3-1-1 Rule for Carry-ons
- 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle
or less (by volume)
- 1 quart-sized, clear,
plastic, zip-top bag
- 1 bag per passenger placed
in screening bin
*One-quart bag per person
limits the total liquid volume each traveler can
bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a
security measure.
You may have multiple containers
of liquid in your single 1 quart zipper
bag but each container may be no larger
than 3.4 oz. (100 ml.) So, you
could bring a bottle of shampoo,
conditional, toothpaste, shave cream,
etc. totaling more than 3.4 oz. all
together, but no single container may be
greater than 3.4 oz. and they all must
fit in a single 1 quart clear zipper
bag.
See our page on
Travel Essentials to help with
purchasing items to carry on.
Carry on container
For liquids, you are allowed a single
Quart
Sized Clear Zipper Bag.
Non-liquid items such as a toothbrush,
floss, etc. do not need to go into this bag.
Make sure items that are considered to be
liquids such as toothpaste are placed in the
bag.
There is no need to
purchase a special bag for this, just use a
typical disposable plastic sandwich bag in
the 1 Quart size.
