Permitted and Prohibited items

 | Transport Security Administration (TSA) now allows air travelers to carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag provided they follow the “3-1-1 for carry ons” rule. (Visit http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm to learn more.) |
 | All liquids, gels and aerosols must be carried in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. |
 | All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. |
 | Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items. |
 | There are exceptions for baby formula, breast milk, and other essential liquids, gels, and aerosols, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines. |
 | You are permitted to travel with most items, but you must put them in your luggage and check them with your airline. |
 | Prohibited items include weapons, explosives, and incendiaries, but also items that are seemingly harmless and may be used as weapons like hammers, bats, or mace. |
