I will be traveling via an airplane this X-Mas... What am I allowed to bring aboard? I heard I cannot take shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste or anything liquid. What if it's checked in? does that make a difference? What are the new rules? I tried calling the airline but they had me on hold for an hour so I gave up. Thanks in advance!

I am also traveling via airplane this Christmas season and this is the information I got from the travel agent.
"The TSA has adjusted its ban on liquids, aerosols, and gels, so you can now carry the following items on board your flight:
- Travel-size toiletries (3 ounces or less) that fit comfortably in one quart-size, clear plastic zip-top bag.
- Beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area.
At the security checkpoint you will be asked to remove the zip-top bag of liquids and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt, making it easier for TSA security officers to examine these items.
Passengers carrying on larger amounts of prescription liquid medications, baby formula, and diabetic glucose treatments will also be required to declare these at the security checkpoint for additional screening.
This new security policy applies to all domestic and international flights departing from U.S. airports. If your plans include travel originating at a non-U.S. airport, be sure to check that airport's security policies and pack accordingly."

I would suggest that you go to the TSA website http://www.tsa.gov/ they set the rules and the regulations on what you can and can not bring on the aircraft with you in carry on as well as your checked luggage.
Hope this helps and have a great trip!

You can take travel sized items under 3 ounces in size in your carry on as long as they all fit in a quart sized ziploc bag. You can find hundreds of travel sized items at http://www.AllTravelSizes.com . They offer free shipping on orders over $20 and they even provide the required ziploc bag free with every order!
