Traveling with Deodorant: TSA Guidelines
If you're traveling with deodorant in your carry-on luggage, it's essential to be aware of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines regarding liquids.
According to the provided reference, the following applies to liquid deodorants:
- They must be packed in a clear, quart-sized bag.
- Each container must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less.
Example Scenario: Packing Deodorant for a Flight
Imagine you're packing for a trip and want to bring your favorite spray deodorant. Because it's a spray (and therefore a liquid), you'll need to ensure the container is 3.4 ounces or less and place it in a clear, quart-sized bag with your other liquids. If you prefer to avoid these restrictions, consider using a solid stick deodorant, which generally doesn't fall under the liquid restrictions.
