However, a thought occurred to us. We have tiny pill bags (1 oz ziplock style bags) that would be perfect for freeing some space. They would fit into tiny spaces between bottles, wouldn't hold more than she needed, and are less than the 3.4 oz requirement. But...
We're not sure if the TSA would allow it. Can anyone shed light on this? Has someone tried this before and been allowed or denied? Any TSO's out there who would share a professional opinion on the matter? Any help would be appreciated, so we can plan on how she needs to pack.
Probably not a problem, but you mentioned the 1 quart ziplock bag. Are you talking about the kind with the little plastic ziploc (lots of us use the ones that re-seal by pressing the two sides together). I ask because either is acceptable, but I find you get a bit more room with the kind (more expensive) that actually have a little sliding grip.
