I can put the food/meds together with the ice packs in my diaperbag. Do I take it out of the bag before screening? Or just tell them they're in there?
The cough syrup would just be in our backpacks. Do I need to take it out before? Just tell them it's in there?
On the clear liquids bags, do all my items need to lay flat in that bag or can I pack it full as long as I get the zipper closed? I was thinking I could transfer the cough syrup to smaller bottles if it would be less TSA fuss, but I'm not sure I have enough room in the bag if it needs to lay flat.
Lastly, does chapstick go in the 311 bag or can I just keep that in my diaper bag?
We put all the kids' stuff in a separate bag and just explain it's for them. No problem. I'd take the medicine out, also.
As for the plastic bag, I've never had a problem with it, no matter how full it's stuffed. Most FTers will tell you that they don't even take the Kippie bag out anymore.
