You can take just about anything if you can fit it into the bag your checking, not carrying.

thats true misty...liquids, even makeup, have to be in a clear quart size bag and then NOT over 3 oz in a carry on. Anything else must go in your check in not your carry on.

When in doubt just check it. I have my belt (as well as any metal jewelry) in my carry-on bag, hoodie/coat off, and boarding pass/i.d. ready before I approach the security checkpoint.

I just like to be prepared prior to reaching the security checkpoint as there is nothing worse than being stuck behind a person that doesn't understand the rules and waits to take off shoes/coats/belts (or doesn't have i.d. ready and must rummage through a wallet or purse to locate it) until right at the metal detector and precedes to be reprimanded by TSA. Also, I bring an empty water bottle and fill it once I pass security as there's no way I'll pay $3 for water.

Good luck!

I would take only those things that you absolutely need like meds..and pack the rest in a suitcase. When we went on our cruise, we had to put stuff in 1 quart baggie (clear) and we found it much easier to pack it in a suitcase
