By the time I do that I don't have any room for hardly anything else. I usually take my makeup and Lysol wipes out of my freedom baggie once I get through so called security and put them in my purse along with other women things. It's a battle trying to get all this in.

My luck, the TSA would tell me it is against policy to put a purse in a tote and a battle would ensue, so I never tried it. Now I know it's "legal" and will start doing this. Logic tells me I can put anything that isn't against the law in my carry on, including a spare purse, but as we all know there is no logic when going through THE LINE.
