I was making a list for myself and thought I'd also share it here. My apologies if a thread like this already exists. (Info taken from TSA - Transportation Security Administration and combined with a few other sites)
Air travelers may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints.
The following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols carried through security checkpoints.
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.
Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
Greater than 3 ounces of the following liquids, gels and aerosols are permitted through the security checkpoint including: Baby formula, breast milk, and juice; All prescription and over-the-counter medications; Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition; and Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids.
You are allowed reasonable amounts over 3 ounces of the items above in your carry-on baggage, but you will need to perform the following:
1. Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
2. Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
3. Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.
You are permitted to bring solid cosmetics and personal hygiene items as such lipstick, lip balm and similar solids.
Please pack liquids, gels, and aerosols in your checked baggage even if you do not normally check a bag. In addition to liquids, gels, and aerosols numerous other potentially dangerous items are not permitted in carry-on baggage.
Camera Equipment - the checked baggage screening equipment will damage undeveloped film in camera equipment. We recommend that you either put undeveloped film and cameras containing undeveloped film in your carry-on baggage or take undeveloped film with you to the checkpoint and ask the screener to conduct a hand-inspection.
We recommend keeping fragile or expensive items with you in your carry-on bags such as: camcorders; laptops; cell phones and PDAs.
Separate the data from the laptop - For most users, the information on a laptop is far more valuable than the laptop itself. One easy way to protect against the loss of data is to keep any key data separate from the laptop in a device such as a flash drive, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM. If you are unwilling or unable to separate the data from the laptop, at least put some kind of password protection on the laptop or on individual files or directories within the laptop.
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less (by volume) ; 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.
Cash, financial documents, jewelery, cameras, cell phones, portable electronic devices, and other valuables should be kept on your person or in your carry-on bags. Other kinds of critical or difficult to replace items that should be in your carry-ons include things like prescription drugs, other medical items, eyeglasses, keys, passports, travel vouchers, business papers, manuscripts, heirlooms, or favorite toys.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) will no longer allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage. You may pack spare lithium batteries in your carry-on baggage.
Before you arrive at the airport:
1. Please allow yourself and your family extra time to get through security - especially when traveling with younger children.
2. Call your airline or travel agent for their recommended check-in times for your departure airport, general rule of thumb is 90 minutes for domestic flights.
3. All passengers age 18 and older will be required to present valid government-issued photo identification (federal, state, or local). Example: driver's license or passport. Make sure you have this available and not packed away in checked baggage.
E-ticket travelers should check with their airline to make sure they have proper documentation. Written confirmation, such as a letter from the airline acknowledging the reservation, may be required.
To reduce the chance of someone accidentally taking your bag from the baggage claim area, place an identification tag of some kind on each piece of checked luggage. Make sure that your contact information is also on each one of these tags. You may also want to use small ribbons, stickers, or other identifying marks on the bag to make it easier to spot.
At check in, make sure that tags that the gate agent attaches to each piece of checked luggage matches you baggage claim tickets. Also, ensure that you and your bag are going to the same destination airport.
Each airline has its own separate guidelines for weight limits and dimensions on baggage and some will charge a hefty fee for being over. A general guideline is checked bags cannot exceed 50 or 70 pounds per bag and the dimensions cannot exceed 45" x 55" x 62" for the largest bag. Again, check with the airline beforehand to see what their guidelines are.
