And that ONE little bottle of eye drops, I always just tossed loose in the grey bin (no baggie). Never had a problem with that, either.
I can't believe they are messing with people with one loose liquid item, or with just a couple in a smaller-than-one-quart bag.
That's just silly.
Oh wait... we're talking about TSA.
Right.
Never mind.
As silly as it sounds, yes.
The screener saw me put it in the bin as I was going to run it through the xray. She yelled at me and said it has to be in a 1 quart bag. So, I put the items in my wife's 1 quart bag since she had some room.
Actually, what surprised me was that my wife has room in her 1 quart bag...
