TSA carry on liquid question

[NYDisneyKid]

Hello, Maybe this has been addressed before,,, I know luggage wont arrive at the room from the ME for a few hours after I arrive but are you allowed to carry toothpaste, shampoo,and bodywash in your carry-on so if you want to take a shower to freshen up when I get to the resort you can? Thanks ºOº

They have to be in containers with less than 3 oz or 100 ML. They all have to fit in a quart size plastic bag (per person).

there's a site that specializes in selling items small enough to travel with too, http://www.minimus.biz

although many advocate simply going to the store and buying a travel size container and emptying it out and refilling it with your stuff. it's not suggested to buy generic travel size containers as there have been reports of problems with some TSA agents.

Yes, as mentioned above in quantities of 3oz (actually 3.4oz or less) in a 1 quart zip lock and one per person - hence the 3-3-1. From the TSA website:

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.

I recomend checking this TSA website (above) often prior to a flight.
