Baby steps.

If you take the stuff out of your ziploc, it is much easier for a cranky TSA screener to make your life miserable and assume you are "flouting the rules" or "artfully concealing". As long as it stays in the ziploc, they're likely to assume you forgot to remove it. They may think you are dumb or senile but are less likely to hassle you.

That's my .02.
