So, what's the deal with liquids, gels, and aerosols? The TSA has a handy 3-1-1 rule: 3 ounces or less per container, in a 1 quart-sized zip-top bag, with only 1 bag per passenger. Easy peasy! But, what about food and drinks? You can bring solid snacks like nuts, dried fruits, and energy bars, but no liquid or gel-like substances, like yogurt or jam.
Now, let's talk about electronics. You can bring your phone, laptop, and tablet, but make sure to remove them from your bag and put them in a separate bin for screening. And, don't even think about bringing a drone or any kind of sharp object - that's just a no-go! But, did you know that you can bring a musical instrument, like a guitar or violin, as long as it fits in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you?

Tools are also a gray area. You can bring small tools like screwdrivers and pliers, but no power tools or sharp objects, like wrenches or hammers. And, if you're a crafty person, you can bring knitting needles and crochet hooks, but no sharp objects, like scissors or sewing needles.
