The 3-1-1 rule for hoilday travel

With many people traveling these holidays I thought I should help get the word out about the 3-1-1 rule. The 3-1-1 stands for 3oz limit on size of liquids, gels or aerosols, in a 1 quart for every 1 person. If everyone remembers this rule it should help those of you that may be traveling move through the airport faster. In addition you may put liquids in your checked baggage so there really should not be a large problem with needing to carry a lot of liquids on board. As many of us remember TSA enacted the rule shortly after they thwarted an alleged plot out of London using liquid explosives in August. Back in August people had to pour out expensive Maple Syrup from Vermont, expensive wine from San Francisco, and hot sauce from Mexico. Keep in mine that does not just apply to cosmetics, but also to these types of things. So don’t end having to pour out expensive jams or even a snow globe (that is right according to the TSA site even snow globes will have to be less than 3 oz, even if they are in sealed package!). However, these items are alright if they are purchased after the security check point.
