3-1-1 is rarely enforced. I always got confused why the 100ml limit existed, since I could just take multiple bottles of 100ml of whatever I wanted and it was okay. Then I realized that technically I only could take 3 bottles but I’ve been getting away with more for decades.


It's not 3 bottles, it's 3.4 oz or 100 ml.


isn't it whatever fits in a quart-sized ziploc? i presume that's where the other poster estimated "only 3 bottles."


3-1-1 is an awful mnemonic, but it's basically: 3.4 oz containers in 1 1-quart ziplock bag.


I guess the comms people got their hands on it before they deployed the original mnemonic: 3.4-1-1


It’s as many bottles sized 100ml or less that you can fit in a 1 liter bag.


Then you hide them somewhere inside and go back out and in again


OR, you just have one or more accomplices ;-)


Yeah, but arent you allowed to exit and re-enter security as many times as you like as long as you have a valid ticket?


They'd probably find it suspicious
