I've taken several international trips since this rule was in place and never had a problem with moistened towelettes in individual foil packets, or even in regular store-bought containers. A TSA screener told me that it was liquids, creams, lotions or ointments that were limited to the baggie.
I only took a carry-on for my 3 week trip a couple of months ago, and as usual had a few individual towelettes in my purse and a box of "wet wipes" in the suitcase, and had no trouble going through ten different security checks.

Thanks for the feedback. I know I hijacked an old thread. Sorry about that. And the reason my zip lock is so full is that I have a medical condition that requires a number of items that fill up the bag - and not all are presecription items. But I am continuing to work on getting non-liquid items that don't have to be in the baggie. Thanks again.

Wander - would a reasonable person see the non-prescription items for your medical condition as for medical purposes. For example saline nasal spray, contact lens solution are both non-prescription but considered medical and do not have to go in the bag.

You can take them (OTC meds, saline, etc) - declared, and separate from the qt baggie.

I'm just wondering, if your checking luggage, can't you just stick all of this in your luggage and not worry about whether you will be able to close the ziploc bag?
I am flying through the States, on my way to the Caymans, at the end of February, and am just planning on packing my toothpaste in my carryon....all my shampoo, sunscreen, etc., will go in the checked luggage.
Just curious.

camelbak - you understand it right. you can put all the liquids and gels you want in a checked piece of luggage. This discussion centered arround "carry-on" luggage, in which case you have to follow the 3-1-1 rule i.e. 3 oz. bottles in a 1 qt ziplock bag and 1 bag per person.
As for your toothpaste, if you are putting in your carry-on the tube cannot hold more than 3 oz. and you still have to put in in a 1 qt. zip-lock bag. You may put as many 3 oz. tubes of toothpaste in the zip-lock bag as will fit.

The answer to what camelbak is wondering about is: Yes, sure you can throw all your shampoo, sunscreen, etc in your luggage.
3 things to take in consideration:
A. Luggage can be lost and may take days to be found and get back to you. If at all...
B. Luggage can be opened and things stolen. It happens.
C. But more important, checked-in luggage is exposed to low pressure and there is a good chance that plastic bottles containg liquids will explode, or at least leak. You need to pack those in double and triple layers of Ziplocks, so not to find shampoo all over your clothing (happened to us couple years ago)....
