Bart thanks for the "rd version" but i have a simple question (actually a couple)....

1-why the zip-lock baggie? is there any difference in placing my open toiletries kit on the belt for inspection? if all items are w/in the size guidelines, then the inspection process is the same, right? just curious.

2-can one substitute a baggie of the same size (or in my case smaller than 1qt) but not a "zip lock"? my reasoning is i have a ton of 12oz/.38qt (marked by the vendor) clear plastic bags and they are stronger than your std zip lock baggie. again, i don't see a difference as a clear baggie is a clear baggie. again, just curious.

3-enjoy your day off
