You can take your chances, but you risk getting it confiscated. The 1oz. bottle is fine. Marlene - Technically you’re not supposed to bring a 4oz. bottle through security.

It's (new) weight was 3.6 oz. Several TSA operatives commented on the 0.1 oz violation, then waived me through... Until today. I'm sitting in the Kansas City terminal right now after having my 3.6 oz tube confiscated. The real insult is that when I asked him if he could let it go since the tube in its squeezed state is now way under 3.5 oz, he insistently informed me that the limit is 3.4 oz ~!!! Who know the real deal? Certainly the TSA employees aren't receiving the same information that the TSA is feeding to the public on their wesbsite! This paragraph may shed some missing light - the 3-1-1 is a simple to remember rule where the actual rule is somewhat different: <blockquote cite="">"Items must fit in one clear, re-sealable quart or liter-sized plastic bag, in containers of 3.4oz/100ml or less. In the European Union, items must fit in one clear, re-sealable liter-sized plastic bag, in containers of 100ml/3.3oz or less. (Please note: The TSA's exact measurements are stated above.

A TSA staffer scrutinized the bag.

He had a can of Axe body spray (the TSA agent pulled it out and held it high, that's how I know!) that was not in a Ziploc bag, and was a few points over 3 ounces. He was let through. Personally, I check my toiletries - I try to eliminate any and all hassles, or as many as I can.

They regularly make allowances for 4.0 OZ bottles of contact solution, and recently I've used bottles slightly larger than 3.0 OZ and not had any difficulty.
