A 3 ounce beer might be good enough for the Chardonnay and croissant crowd, but its a bit short for me
Is that a bottle of Bud in your pant pocket, or are you just happy to see your friendly neighborhood TSA agent?

Keep in mind that jackets (and thus, anything stuffed in pockets of said jackets) have to come off and go through the x-ray. So if you happen to forget something in your pant pockets - it might be pretty obvious as you go through.
