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.

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.

I'll probably label them for my own use, but they're all way under 3 oz (not the bigger one in the picture, btw). Will that be okay?

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