Help Others with Extra Ziploc Bags
To all the savvy Fodors travellers - You know all about the new rules on liquids in carry-ons and have your zip-loc bag filled and ready to toss in the bin at security. But you'd be surprised at the number of people who aren't ready. You can't help them all. But stick a few extra ziploc bags in your carry-on and help out a fellow traveller faced with tossing toothpaste, makeup, etc. You may even find yourself in a trip report! (I can see it now - - - There I was, arguing with the TSA employee about the one bottle of shampoo in my bag when a kind stranger handed me a ziploc bag. It was the highlight of my trip.)

Pity the fool security worker who tries to take away my toothpaste because it's not in a ziploc bag!
The days of Republican nonsense ruling the skies are OVER, thank goodness!
P.S. Did Halliburton own half of the ziploc company, too???

You can bring food but NO: yogurt, pudding, jello etc.
Fruit, nuts, cookies, cheese, crackers, sandwiches are ok.
You cannot bring water or any other drinks, but can buy them after you pass through security.
Hope this helps...

I'm currently sitting in the NW club at DTW and thought this was an interesting thread. I packed, put my toothpaste, lotion, etc...in a plastic bag - threw it in my carry on and zipped through security.
I didn't take it out of my carry on (forgot)- i went through all this trouble putting everything in the ziplocks and no one asked to see them!
I thought you had to take the ziplock out and put it in the bin, maybe they could see it in my carry one and were satisfied.
Just thought I'd pass this info along....

Keymom or others, I can't keep up...was this in place a couple of weeks ago?
I wish I would have read this thread earlier. I'm assuming a clear zippered travel bag will also be okay (although now I'm sure my husband will not be pleased that it has some pink flowers on it).

I fly a lot and I find the rules are not consistently applied (or perhaps not consistently understood in the same manner by all agents). It's that one time that you forget to have the ziploc you'll be searched. Say goodbye to the toothpaste - unless I'm in line behind you with my extra ziploc bags!
