AA web site says you can carry a baggie. JAL web site says you can carry a baggie. The poster I saw at the security screen is what confused me.
For the record, the screeners here in NRT couldn't have been nicer and more polite and orderly. The controlled the passengers thru the Xray so there wasn't a huge crush after the Xray machine, so I wasn't worried about my stuff getting stolen on the other side. I wish the TSA would take training from them.
Not sure if I'm replying in time for your trip, but I would guess the poster at the checkpoint is just poorly designed. Probably by someone without good enough English to come up with the correct explanation for the 100 mL container, 1L baggie rules. You should have no trouble bringing a baggie.
And I agree with you about Japanese screeners: very professional and polite.
