Last Carryon Question....I promise!

[momfor2kids]

One more thing regarding carryons - I know this may sound dumb but they (the TSA's) at the airport don't give you a hard time about a bar of soap in your carryon do they? It will be in the original box and is more than 3 oz. but it is not a liquid so I thought it would be okay.

Also - deodorant that is a solid and is more than 3 oz - is that okay?

And last - what do you do about medications? They are not perscription - just vitamins, calcium, allergy pills and iron pills. Usually I just count out what we need for us for the week and throw them into baggies. Am I going to get frisked and stripped searched by the TSA for possible "drugs". How should I pack these to bring? I didn't want to pack the whole bottle for each when I only need enough for a week.

So:

1. Soap?
2. Deodorant?
3, Vitamins, etc.....?

Hope someone out there can help - and I think that will do it for all my carryon questions.

I have definitely decided it is MUCH EASIER to drive - anywhere!

Thanks for your help.

The general rule is that if it keeps it's shape out of the container then it is fine, with a few exceptions, one being Jello.

So, on to your question...

1. Soap: Good to go, it's a solid bar, body wash would not be ok.
2. Solid Deoderant: Good to go, it's a solid not a gel
3. Vitamins: Anything they test for is VERY specific, it should not pick up on your vitamins unless one of your "vitamins" is something you buy from the guy on the corner then you are ok. They cannont determine what medicine you do and do not need, and many people need to take vitamins as medicine, or an alternative, plus, you mentioned they are all pills, you should be fine.
