The New TSA "3-1-1" Rule:  What does TSA mean? It is short for Transportation Security Administration. TSA protects the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. Air travelers may now carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints. Have you seen our new TSA-Compliant Toiletry Set ? The set of jars and bottles have the perfectly approved measurements for all your trips! With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter medicines, baby formula and breast milk, and other essential liquids, gels, and aerosols, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint. Each of the toiletries offered by TravelProducts.com is under 3 oz. in order to comply with TSA regulations. For better portability, use our Packing Envelopes. 1. Liquids in containers of 3 ounces or less may be carried in your carry-on bag so long as they are placed in a clear, one-quart plastic bag. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. Travel Tips To Make Your Screening Experience Hassle-free: The secret to getting through security smoothly is to de-clutter your carry-on bag. This lets our Transportation Security Officers get a clear, uncomplicated X-ray image of your carry-on. When possible, keep packing liquids in checked baggage. You will get through security faster. Limit quantities to what is needed for the duration of the flight.
Your Checked Luggage
Organize: Using packing organizers makes things much easier if security needs to check inside your bag. Save time by using our Hanging Sundry Kit, Packing Cube Set, Jewelry Kit, Contact Lens Kit, Tie Caddy, Sport Hydroliner , Laundry Organizer. It is easy for authorities to inspect bit-by-bit, rather than rifling through a whole pile of clothes. If you can find problem items quickly, you'll be able to finish an inspection faster. Lock your bag: Some travelers wonder if a lock will be cut off if there is a need to inspect your checked bag, so be safe by using Transportation Security Administration (TSA) locks and straps. Identify your luggage promptly: Use our Neon Straps, Luggage Tags that are easy to identify, also don't hesitate to use unusual or large luggage tags. Protect your identity and nationality: with a passport cover to maintain your privacy and to keep your passport in good condition.
Take less stuff: Expect to have your carryon bags thoroughly searched and take as few things as possible. Try putting all your little things, like pens and lipsticks, inside a larger tote or cabin bag. This will make it much easier to empty and re-pack your bag. You may find it's easier to choose a bag without lots of small pockets to empty and reload. Take fewer bags: Passengers may be limited to one or two carry-on bags. Feel free to browse our website to select the best travel accessories and travel bags for your next trip. Some travelers report that no wheeled bags are being allowed as carry-ons; others say they have had no problems at all. If you have any doubts, pack a small tote as an emergency back-up. If you are asked at the gate to check your larger bag, you'll still be able to take the real essentials into the cabin with you. Our Expandable Pocket Tote is perfect to store your personal items. Count your carry-ons: In the past, many airlines have not included purses as an "official" carry-on, but many travelers tell us that handbags are now being counted as carry-on items. Change your purse into a convertible roomy Expandable Shoulder Bag.
Do's and Don'ts before, during, and after your trip 
Always: Write up identification Luggage Tags and put them everywhere--inside and outside your luggage. You can even include an e-mail address on your luggage tags, but most definitely a phone number is better! Make sure your tags show your final destination. And don't forget to remove all old tags. Always: Place anything leakable into plastic bags or in waterproof carrier bags in our Set of 7 Packing Envelopes. This includes makeup, shampoos, conditioners, shaving cream and moisturizers. Roll and then seal your most important business attire in a thick Laundry Bag inside your suitcase if you can't carry a foldable garment bag separately. Never pack: WHY? Well, if your luggage is lost you will be stuck at the airport with absolutely nothing. It sounds redundant but it can happen if you are suffering from Jet-Lag. Never:
