· A graphic with a Sept. 26 article about liquids that can be carried aboard U.S. commercial airliners contained incorrect information from the Transportation Security Administration. Air travelers are allowed to bring through security up to three ounces, not four, of eyedrops, saline solution, personal lubricants, and nonprescription liquid or gel medications. Medically necessary items that exceed three ounces must be declared and submitted for inspection by a security officer.
