Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.

Before you fly, understand everything you can and cannot bring when you travel by air by reading our list of permitted and prohibited items.

3. It would have to be a pretty damn big tube of lipgloss....
my monster tube from L'Oreal is only .27 ounces and thereby way under the allowed 3 :)

4. Glass is a liquid.
Although you'd require a carry-on encyclopedia to convince any security official that you are correct.

6. When in doubt,
put it in the ziploc bag. You don't want anyone to think you're hiding something and have an excuse to rifle through the rest of your baggage.
