Good news for those of us who prefer to carry-on bags when we fly – the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has recently relaxed its carry-on rules to allow some liquids.  We can even carry on water bottles again!  

According to the new rules, you can carry on travel size (3 oz or less) shampoo, conditioner, lotion and other toiletries so long as they all fit in a clear quart-sized zip-top bag.   I’ll be stopping by Target or Walgreens to stock up on some mini-bottles for my upcoming trip to Los Angeles.  If you can’t find what you want locally, minimus.biz specializes in travel sized products.

From the TSA site:

• Travelers may now carry through security checkpoints travel-size toiletries (3 ounces or less) that fit comfortably in ONE, QUART-SIZE, clear plastic, zip-top bag.
• After clearing security, travelers can bring beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area on-board aircraft.
