Question
Roberto, what about taking on board in your carry on those little 1oz. bottles of vodka if they are factory sealed and in a 1qt. clear zip-lock bag???

Answer
Dear Russ,

The rule is clear: 3 ounce bottle or less. Exception is made to duty free items. You can check TSA's website with these regulations at this link:
