Regarding what can go on a plane...can my dd wear her lanyard with her disney pins to trade on it?

Yes, she can wear her lanyard on the plane. She will need to take it off to go through security, but she can wear it.

Can any type of product in a 3oz size go in your carry-on bag.

Does everything like this need to go in a clear plastic bag?

With the exception of drinks for babies, all other liquids and gels must be 3 oz or less and fit in one quart size baggie. One baggie per person. Medication does not need to be placed in this baggie, but the TSA screeners really appreciate it when you place all medication in a seperate baggie that is easy to screen.

What about contact lens solution?

working at an airport I have seen contact solution treated as a gray area some tsa will let it go and other will not. To be safe use the 3.4 oz/ 100ml rule for your carry-on and pack your large bottle in checked baggage.

I was about to make a funny list of how you have to travel on planes now, but don't want to get banned from flying!!! This has become very scary.....

I think some of us know about this, but I wanted to post this for those that were not aware of it. It is a company that ships your luggage for you. I have not used them and cannont endorse them, I just saw an article in the paper.

Luggage Free - Experts in shipping luggage and excess baggage

I know that Ipods can go in the carry on, but do they have to go there? I want to carry mine in my purse.

The last time I flew in January, I had about 4 baggies full of stuff and they didn't say anything about that. So I don't think it's one baggie per person. Of course this was out of Chicago and they let a lot of things go.

FYI - Laptops

If you plan to take a laptop out of and back into the country, you might want to read this:

Winging It: Worries about traveling with your laptop | Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/30/2008
From the article:

"Gurley recommended that the committee get a privacy-impact assessment from Homeland Security detailing how many laptops have been seized, why they were taken, and how much time it should take before a device is returned to its owner. She also said there should be published policies for protecting the integrity of data on the devices, and the circumstances that would allow other government agencies to see it. But until that happens, I suggest that if you travel internationally, you scrub your laptop clean of anything you don't want doing an electronic dance around Washington."
