By now, most travelers know the drill: You cannot carry a container of any liquid that is more than 3.4 ounces if you plan to board a plane. If you need a refresher, here is what the Transportation Security Administration says:. “You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of...

11 Liquids You Can Bring Through Airport Security — Even If They’re Over 3.4 Ounces

When you’re going through airport security check-in, in addition to removing your shoes, taking out your laptop is to make sure there is no liquid over 3.4 ounces with you, which forces you to buy the expensive $5 per bottle of water at the airport. Millions of travelers face the same issue thanks to the 3-1-1 liquids rule from the TSA. However, a clever travel hack that went viral on TikTok suggests that if you wish to carry larger liquids onto your plane, you can freeze them before reaching the airport and take them through security.

This Smart Hack Allows You to Bring Larger Liquids, Over 3.4 Ounces, Through TSA at the Airport

Washington, DC

There are a few essential rules to remember when flying: buy your snacks before getting to the airport, always book a window seat and remember to pack your toiletries in 3.4 ounce bottles. Despite that last one being law for almost 20 years, people still forget and the Transportation Security Administration confiscates millions of dollars worth of liquids every day. Now, one U.S. airport is looking to save confiscated liquids from the trash heap.

This Is What Happens To All The Toiletries That TSA Confiscates

In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in 2001 to mitigate threats and keep air travelers safe. Even if the TSA's dreaded liquid rule and the confusing protocol on laptops can be frustrating to deal with, the agency and its security officers play a vital role in keeping American airports safe. That said, not everyone associated with the TSA does the right thing all the time.

Late For Your Flight? Here's How To Cut The Security Line Without Being A Jerk.

Have you ever found yourself trudging through an airport terminal, suitcase in tow, only to be confronted by an expanse of garish, seemingly outdated carpet? You're not alone. Airport carpeting has long been a source of bewilderment — and, let's face it, frustration — for plenty of travelers out there. With their busy patterns and questionable color choices that seem at odds with the sleek, modern aesthetics of air travel, carpets and airports go together like ... well, oil and water. However, despite the widespread disdain for all things carpet flooring, some airports continue to cover their gates and walkways in the plush material — leaving some travelers to push and pull their way through the inconvenience. But, it turns out, there is a reason for this choice that goes way beyond aesthetics.

Here's Why Airports Have Carpet Flooring Even Though Many Travelers Hate It
