You amenity kit contains liquids and gels. Do you remove that stuff and put it in your 3-1-1 bag? Simply ditch the stuff in the nearest trash bin? Stick it in your carry-on and hope they don't see it?
I generally put them in my carry-on until I can transfer it to my checked luggage. As others have mentioned, most security re-screens understand you may be in transit and won't make a fuss... I usually have a 3-1-1 bag on me (for hand sanitizer and moisturizer). If they ask, I tell them I'm in transit (and they are usually screening specifically transit passengers vs. people coming in from landside). If they ask to ditch the liquid, then no biggie. Just don't like to them about it as the penalty is not worth it.
