Luggage Liquid

Dear Heloise: Please tell your readers about liquids they put in their CARRY-ON LUGGAGE. The container must state on the front that it is less than 3 ounces. If you have a 6-ounce container that is less than half-full, it will still be confiscated. If you bury it in your carry-on bag and it is picked up on X-ray, your bag will be searched!

All the 3-ounce bottles need to be placed in a plastic, quart-size bag to go through the X-ray. This could help to keep the lines moving. -- Rita Mae Kelly, via e-mail

Thanks for the reminder, Rita. Check with your airline or the Transportation Security Administration (www.tsa.gov) for up-to-date airline restrictions.

And folks, please be ready to put items in the gray bins and move along. If you need more time, be kind and let people go around you. -- Heloise
