Here's the 411 on 3-1-1:

When packing those bags for your next trip, keep in mind the new carry-on regulations set forth by the Transportation Security Administration. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints. Following these simple guidelines will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.

Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
