If you haven’t traveled since the TSA’s 3-1-1 liquid rule came about, let me seriously suggest that you not wait until the night before departure to pack your one-quart baggie — which is smaller than you might think. And those three-ounce bottles are smaller than you may suppose as well. Some of us require — er, use — very little in the way of beauty and personal products. If your needs are extensive, going carryon-only may be tough. A reminder: TSA’s rules don’t prohibit unmarked containers, but some people are getting hassled with them. Better to refill an empty branded container than risk confiscation in my opinion. You can buy almost anything in TSA-approved travel sizes at minimus.biz.
