If you speak French, 100ml is fine.
"... contenant des récipients
de liquides ou gels, d’une capacité de 3 onces (100 ml)
amaximum."

Also, it will appear to work for those Spanish speaking passengers.

Should have been escalated to a supervisor.

I think thats a PHL issue, they also seem to have problems with the fact that something can weigh 120g and have a volume of less than 100ml. With the basic definition if density being logical in metric, I presume they just dont teach it in TSA school

Show me a place on tsa.gov, other than the blog, where the rule is now 3.4 U.S. fluid oz.

You guys are confusing me now! It orginally was 3.0, and TSA made their catchy 3-1-1 phrase. Then it changed to 3.4 because 3.4=100ml which is a nice round number. I don't know what the TSA website states, I think they still have the 3-1-1 thing, and also the 3.4/100ml. You can have up to 3.4. If you stick to the 3-1-1 and only bring 3.0 you are still within the regulations.
OMG. Clear as mud.

The rule limits the volume of liquids, gels and aerosols to bottles 3 ounces or smaller (or 100 ml), in 1 quart-sized zip top bag, and 1 bag per traveler.

We reduce risk by deciding what we believe is necessary for a completed bomb -- the core of the 100ml (3.4 ounce) limit........

P.S. This whole thread has gotten a little ridiculous! Seriously. Do what you want, bring what you want. Put your 100ml toiletries in your checked luggage. Whatever...

Coming from an LTSO, and one who is more often than not the supervisor on duty, and responsible for making the decisions on the CP and knowing our SOP and policies and adhering to them and enforcing them....100ml is the limit.
