TSA Carry-On Rules Update: What Changed

Quick Update on TSA Carry-On Rules

The TSA recently clarified several carry-on policies that frequently confuse travelers at security checkpoints.

Liquids Reminder

The 3-1-1 rule remains in effect: containers must be 3.4 ounces or less, fit in one quart-sized bag, with one bag per passenger. Medications and baby formula are exempt but require declaration.

Electronics Policy

Laptops and large electronics still need to be removed from bags for standard screening. TSA PreCheck members can leave electronics in their bags.

Food Items

Solid food items pass through security without issue. Spreads, dips, and items like yogurt or hummus count as liquids and fall under the 3-1-1 rule.
