Response: Whatever fits into a quart-sized bag should be fine as long as each of the individual liquid/gel-containing containers inside the bag do not individually appear to exceed 3 oz.

Hmm. If I were someone who played mental "what if" games, I'd be unconvinced that this tactic improves my safety. What's to stop a bad guy from filling nine 3 oz. containers with something dangerous (cough), thereby taking 27 oz. of threat aboard?

Mind you, I'm happy that it appears I can take enough shampoo on my trips. ;)

Yes, you can carry lip gloss, it just has to be inside the quart-sized plastic ziplock baggie along with any other 3 oz containers of liquids, gels and aerosols.

No, it does not have to have 3 oz printed on it.

Yes, whatever liquids, gels and aerosols you purchase inside the sterile area is now permitted to be taken aboard aircraft.

Or for that matter, I wonder how travel-size authentic toiletries by Arabic manufacturers, all labeled, in Arabic - - will be evaluated?
