5 Carry-On Toiletry-Packing Tips (TSA Will Thank You)
/Toiletry-Packing Tips for Your Carry-On
Today, I will talk about 5 simple things you can do while packing your toiletries to avoid the unwanted attention of the airport authorities. You don’t want to be that person who gets pulled out of the security line for a secondary screening.
1. Ziploc Only – Use a quart-size Ziploc bag for toiletries less than 100 ml or 3.4 oz. I used different types of TSA-approved toiletry bags you can buy on Amazon or in other stores and in many instances I got pulled out to put my toiletries in a plain Ziploc bag.
2. Not Too Many – Do not stuff too many containers in a toiletry bag, as this may draw attention and you may be pulled out for a secondary screening.
3. Tooth Brush/Razor – Do not include your toothbrush, razor, or any such items that are not liquid and do not have to be in a toiletry bag.
4. Not too Bulky – Do not use overly bulky or big containers, even though they are under 100 ml. Using slim and smaller size containers will make your journey easier and these do not draw attention like big, bulky containers.
5. Damaged Ziploc Bag – Do not use damaged or overused Ziploc bags. If your toiletry bag is difficult to see what’s inside or looks too damaged, it might raise a red flag for secondary screening. I keep extra sets of Ziploc bags, so if one gets damaged, I can always use another fresh one to save everyone some trouble.
