Will travel? Must have quart-size, zip-top plastic bag
Just how absurd are the rules for airplane carry-on items? Pretty bad, according to the Wall Street Journal, which says the Transportation Security Administration's fine print offers quite the gotcha.
From the Journal: Where's Seinfeld when you need him? In a quintessential bureaucratic bedevilment, the TSA allows small bottles and tubes of liquids to be carried aboard airplanes only if they are enclosed in a quart-size, zip-top plastic bag. No gallon bags. No fold-over sandwich bags. Even if you have only one bottle on you, it must be carried in a quart-size, zip-top plastic bag. Screeners confiscate any nonconforming items or send travelers to ticket counters to check luggage. See the TSAs website for a list of prohibited items and other rules.
