Does everyone use their 3D organiser as their 3-1-1 baggie?
Has anyone had any problems? .. just wondering in case the security folk may view it as not really a clear ziplock (due to the solid fabric sides).
(particularly interested in Sydney, Abu Dhabi and Heathrow airports)
I believe the 3-1-1 mandate is the main reason this organizer was invented. It does conform to TSA guidelines of volume, zip top, clear plastic.
I've used it for a couple of years now and have never had a problem, including Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 and several other international airports. It's so much nicer (and classier) than a plastic baggie. As someone else suggested on another thread, I've started leaving the 3D organizer hooked by a key strap to an o-ring and just pulling it outside the bag but leaving it tethered.
That's what I'm planning to do. Good to hear it meets the requirements.Quote:

It has become my travel kit because most trips (by land or air) I don't need more liquid toiletries than what I can fit into it anyway.Quote:

Any chance the 3D will be made in the new colors? :D
I have never had a problem using the 3D as a 3-1-1 bag, using the older plastic or the new. I read about one unsubstantiated instance where a TSA officer questioned the bag and made the traveler put their items in a Zip-Loc branded bag, but I think that can be chalked up to the arbitrary nature of US Domestic security. If security hassles you, just put the whole 3D bag into a Zip-Loc and move on ;)
Oh, is that a different kind of plastic? I thought it was just some powder to keep it from sticking to other plastic! I agree, I like the clear ones much better.Quote:

You should have NO issues with the TSA using the cube.
Wooo lady you live a dangerous life!!! ;-)Quote:

Then again, they make you take your laptop out of anything it's in, and they let you wear your shoes, so there you go! Now that I'm done traveling there, I'll be adding a 3D (in Azalea!!) to my next order. I'll probably always carry an extra ziplock somewhere in my luggage, just in case.Quote:
