Or you could just be a grown up and ask this question before you get stuck in line and delay the travel of those behind you. It's not as if these rules are new. Over a million miles and you're global services and you seriously need to ask this question?
Exactly. The rules allowing medications over the limit are not new. Since dentifrices containing fluoride are FDA-regulated drugs (i.e. medications), they should be allowed in quantities in excess of 100mL (as long as they're declared to the screeners).
Only non-FDA regulated toothpastes should be subject to the 100mL limit.
Of course that would be a legitimate application of the rules, so it will never happen.
