So you can carry your Purell, your plastic tube of toothpaste, not metal tube. Hell,you can even carry your pot through as long as you don't wrap it in aluminum foil.. Remember, you are only asked to remove METAL items from your person. You don't have to take out everything.
Yes, that is true, however, the Purel was always kept in my bag, which went through the X-Ray. One of the segments, I forgot a bottle of water in my bag, and they opened it, took the water out, did a swab, and still didn't discover the Purel.
