Roller Bag
For someone who has flown this past week:
Am I correct that if I do not have any fluids/toiletries then I am still allowed to bring my roller bag on the flight with me? I'm planning on mailing my toiletries ahead of time. If so, do they just search it again prior to boarding? Thanks for the help.

Yes, unless you're departing the UK. Rollers are still ok here in the USA. As long as they're empty of most useful carryon items. If you are departing the UK, then the roller bag gets checked.
