What are the rules for liquids at airport security?

For U.S. TSA checkpoints, ordinary carry-on liquids, gels, and aerosols generally must be in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 mL) or less, fitting in one clear quart-size bag per traveler. Exceptions apply to medically necessary liquids and certain other items. Rules and screening procedures can differ at connecting and return airports. Follow the relevant security authority’s instructions.
