Quick question for a newbie (sort of)
I don't normally frequent the safety/security forum so I apologize ahead of time if these questions have been answered a lot in the past. I am a f/a that is used to using the crew lines and not familiar with a couple of the liquid limitations. Believe it or not, I haven't flown anywhere since the liquid ban, I am usually happy to stay at home or drive wherever I need to go on my days off...the thought of getting on an airplane just isn't that appealing. I won't wear my uniform or go through the crew line when I'm travelling on my own, I'm going to act like a regular passenger. 
I know the 3 oz. rule and the quart sized baggie rule, my question is about contact lens solution and rewetting drops and distilled water for my cpap. Can I put those in a separate ziploc bag? Since I sleep in my contacts I don't need that big of a bottle of solution, and I only plan to carry a small water bottle filled with distilled water since I can purchase a big one for the duration of my vacation. Just need it for one night's use. Oh, one more thing...do they consider mascara and eye liner pencils liquids?!
Thanks for any info you can give me, I appreciate not having to dive through all the past posts.
Fly safe!

I regularly put my contact solution and any medically necessary liquids in a separate (gallon) bag and put it in the tray next to my quart baggie of personal toiletries.
I've had TSOs pick up the bag and eyeball the contents, but no one has ever asked me any questions or tried to seize them.

Eyeliner pencil is not considered liquid. Mascara may or may not be considered a liquid depending on the mood of the TSA clerk. Same goes for lip balm or lipstick.
Contact lens solution can be bagged separately. I do it all the time. I do avoid bringing the kind you have to use the catalyst with - that has been known to create problems with TSA clerks (it's hydrogen peroxide).
