Well I travel with a small bottle of mouthwash wherever I go and neither TSA nor any other security agency has ever batted an eye. I don't know what the ones in the amenity kit look like but the ones I travel with are the travel size bottles of Listerine. I can't imagine the DL ones being any bigger than that, and likely a lot smaller.

I don't bother putting the toothpaste from the kits in the 3-1-1 baggie, and I usually have a hand sanitizer that is in my laptop bag that doesn't get put in the baggie either. Never had a kit inspected or one of my 'rogue' tiny liquids found.
My guess is they don't bother when its a very small amount that is clearly under the 100ml limit. TSA has bigger issues with letting real threats through security anyway.

Nice changes all around. I'm particularly excited about the toothbrush inclusion in Comfort+ - honestly, half the time I open the amenity kit just to raid it for the toothbrush, and don't use the other supplies, so this will be much appreciated!

I wish they said which direction got which kit. I'm going to PVG at the end of June and coming back in July. I guess I'll find out.
The old Delta BusinessElite amenity kits had Rembrandt mouthwash in them.
Generally, I grab the pen, if anything, since I usually forget one.
Given the condition of the lav floors after a few hours, I skip the socks. If the flight is a Japan flight (or happens to have slippers on it for some other reason), I'll wear the slippers.
I do like the micro fiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone/iPad screens.

I do always make sure to position my hand to protect my clothing from the salad dressing and yogurt, having learned that lesson the hard way. But I think that is a result of those things usually having some amount of the contents stuck to the top of the container when you open it. That shouldn't be the case with mouthwash.

Up until that point, I just thought it was a fact of flying that I'd be wearing some part of my yogurt or dressing...

Showers and overnight stays are a key part of daily life at shelters focused on homelessness and domestic violence. Most of them keep bins of supplies like this on hand, and being able to offer patrons high-end toiletries and a nice bag to keep them in is often much appreciated.

I collect them and extra hotel shampoos, etc. and donate to a women's or homeless shelter.

If you've accumulated unopened amenity kits or other travel goodies you don't want, you may want to swing by your favorite local shelter to see if they're interested.

When I lived in Seattle I gave them to YouthCare.

Nice change, and I like that they are keeping Tumi. I think higher quality ear plugs would be a nice improvement, I always just use my own.
I have not used a 3-1-1 baggie since I started getting pre-check. I actually just put everything in my old BE toiletry kits. I've never had a problem.
Don't you place your little mouthwash bottle in your 3-1-1 baggie? That's what I do and it's no problem as long as it fits with my other toiletries. I'm concerned about how TSA would react to mouthwash bottles that aren't in the baggie because someone hasn't inspected their amenity kit.

Frankly, I've often wondered just how much, and what sizes of toiletries I could get by carrying through Pre.

That DL had a real toothpaste tube was seriously real! YES WE NOTICED!! thank you.
Beyond that, shoe horn and pure cotton sleep mask (wither the former great AZ version). Yes, I'm the small quotient that get into details, true many don't care.
And more than us than you know donate all and parts to charity. Proud to share.
