The TSA has a handy 3-1-1 rule to help you remember: 3 ounces or less per container, 1 bag per passenger, and 1 zip-top bag to hold it all. It's like a little game to see how much you can bring without getting flagged! And, fun fact: the TSA screens over 2 million passengers every day, so they're pretty serious about these rules.
But what about exceptions to the rule? Well, if you have a medication that's over 3 ounces, you're in the clear – just be sure to declare it at security. And, if you're traveling with a baby, you can bring breast milk, formula, or juice in reasonable quantities. The TSA even has a special procedure for screening these items, so don't worry!

The TSA even has a list of prohibited items, including bleach and drain cleaner – because, apparently, someone tried to bring those on a plane once...!
