Overview
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows for passengers to carry-on
small amounts of toiletries under certain conditions. You must follow the 3-1-1 for CarryOns rule. Each of your toiletries must be 3 oz. or less, and you must place all the toiletries
in a single quart-size zip-top bag. (Note, the container itself must be 3 oz. or less; a 4 oz.
container that is half-full will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.) You must
remove this zip-top bag from your carry-on for screening at the security checkpoint. Read
more about the TSA Regulations.
Remember not to wrap gifts that are either in your carry-on or checked baggage. Security
officers may have to unwrap gifts if they need to take a closer look. Either ship wrapped
gifts ahead of time or wait until you are at your destination to wrap them. If you plan on
traveling with food, make sure liquid, aerosol, and gel items are in your checked baggage.
You can bring pies and cakes as carry-on items through the security checkpoint, but be
advised that they might be subject to additional screening.
When traveling in the USA, the TSA enforces rules on what type of items can be carried
aboard your flight in your carry-on bags, as well as what can be packed in your checked
baggage. The following lists detail which items are allowed, and which are prohibited.

Gifts
Keep gifts unwrapped, whether they are in your carry-on or checked luggage. TSA
officers may need to unwrap a gift to take a closer look inside. Either ship wrapped gifts
ahead of time or wait until you arrive at your destination to wrap them.
Family Lanes
If you are traveling with small children or elderly adults, consider using the family lane to
go through security with ease. Family Lanes, located at every security checkpoint, allow
families and travelers with special needs to go through security at their own pace.
Individuals carrying medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in excess of three
ounces will be directed to these lanes. So, if you are traveling with liquid medications,
baby formula, or baby food, look for the signage with the green circle at each security
checkpoint.
Snow Globes
TSA does not permit snow globes in carry-on baggage because they contain an
undetermined amount of liquid. Snow globes are permitted in checked baggage.
