I often have to carry larger containers for my own digestive disorder. I usually get a note from my doctor on the medical necessity of anything in question. Check the TSA website . . . you will find the rules on medical supplies. Cathy B, your friend’s medical supplies are excluded from these limits, as are mothers with baby formula.

Whatever... I didn't have any trouble flying out of Nashville a week earlier. I don't know why they don't just cap the limit at an even 4oz since it is such a common size. :/ A week ago I was flying out of Denver and they took my 4oz. bottle of AXE and said “3.4oz is ok but not 4oz”.

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.
