Individually wrapped hand sanitizer wipes.
 

Do they need to go in a 3-1-1 bag, or are they considered solid enough now days for carryon?

Thanks.

Those are not considered a liquid. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/can-i-bring-my

Thank you PHlisa, This app should be a big help but what I see is that they are treated as liquid and do need to go into a 311 bag?

You're welcome! Says a lot about the TSA's unclear restrictions that they have to have an app for people to figure out what's legit to travel with.

You are good.

I bring these through all the time in my carry-on. They come in a package much larger than hand wipes. package is 11 x 4¼"

I've brought both individual hand wipes, and travel size packs of 10 or so wipes through without any questions or issues.

Thanks everyone. This will save some room in the 3-1-1 bag and I like the idea of being able to have them handy to wipe down the arm rests on the plane.

TSA opened a package of them in my traveling companion's bag today and peered at them suspiciously. :eek:

But as this relates to airport security measures, I'll move this thread over to our Travel Safety/Security-Practical Travel Safety Issues forum for further commentary from the resident TSA Disparagers.

"Resident TSA Disparagers" is a way to refer to FTers, TSA employees or otherwise? :D It's not a characterization with which I'd identify or identify someone else. That said, given TSA (mis-)management, it's not a surprising reference to see tossed around here too.

Not a TSA employee here, however, I've not once had an issue with individually wrapped hand sanitizer wipes and I always have a bunch of wet wipes from airlines and/or airline lounges and frequently clear US and international screening checkpoints with them where there's a ridiculous "war on liquids". I wish the same could be said for the travel packet of "Clorox" surface wipes, but I can't. I wish the same could be said for liquid Tide "travel" packets, but I can't. Mostly, there's no problem; however, consistency isn't the TSA's strong suit, and so YMMV.
