“Shortly after the new regulations were imposed by TSA, I took a weekend trip to Dallas,” said Linda. “I found myself at the security checkpoint, fumbling with all of my things falling out of a zip-top baggy, and people behind me getting frustrated. It was very embarrassing and inconvenient. I decided that something needed to be done about this problem.”

Linda began her mission by traveling to New York City to investigate options for bags, pumps, and containers that met the regulations set by TSA. Within a few months, she presented the Clear Bag System™ toiletry case to TSA, who approved the 6x8 clear cosmetic bag and airless pumps. She then added matching jars to be used for heavy products such as cold cream, or Vaseline.

“Customers really like the strong vinyl bag because it stands up on its own making it easy to access the airless tubes and any additional items packed in the bag,” said Linda. “People need a practical solution to keep travel easy and abide by the rules. The Clear Bag System™ toiletry case is meant to eliminate extra hassle and re-introduce flexibility to the independent traveler.”
