Whoever made that recording needs to learn the difference between weight and volume. Just another example of how inept they can be. From their very own agency web site;
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce 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 oz. container size is a security measure.
Come on TSA Atlanta, get it right if you can; it is VOLUME, not weight.
TSA will not even respond to questions of weight versus volume.
3 ounces was changed to 3.4 ounces or 100ml over a year ago yet the website, signage and airport announcements still give travelers wrong information.
