Are my things ok for carrying on a plane?

I plan on carrying a backpack with my clothes, tennis shoes, my clear ziplock bag with 3 oz toothpaste, tooth brush, and deodorant. Should I have a problem with carrying those thing on the plane?

Are my things ok for carrying on a plane?
No as long as the ziplock is a 1 quart bag. I am flying in a few months and I just looked it up. You will be fine. I cut and pasted the information below for UNITED AIRLINES.





Carry-on baggage restrictions for flights from/within the U.S., the European Union and Japan





Liquids, gels and/or aerosols are permitted through security checkpoints. Items must fit in one clear, re-sealable quart or liter-sized plastic bag, in containers of 3.4oz/100ml or less. In the European Union, items must fit in one clear, re-sealable liter-sized plastic bag, in containers of 100ml/3.3oz or less. (Please note: The TSA%26#039;s exact measurements are stated above. But for ease of memory please follow the 3-1-1 rule.)





Plastic bags must be completely sealed and will be x-rayed at the security checkpoint separately.





The following items are allowed, but must be presented to officials at security checkpoints if they are not contained in clear plastic bags or are of greater volume than 3.4oz/100ml in the U.S. and Japan or 100ml/3.3oz in the EU:





Baby formula/milk, including breast milk, and baby food in containers if a baby or small child is traveling.


Medications (liquid, gel or aerosol)


Liquids, juices or gels for diabetic passengers who indicate a need for such items to address their medical condition. (A letter from your physician is not necessary).


Passengers are permitted to take liquids, gels, and/or aerosols purchased in the boarding area onboard the aircraft. This includes all duty free items.





Though there is some flexibility regarding duty free items within the EU, restrictions still apply elsewhere. Duty free liquids, gels, and/or aerosols that exceed the TSA limit will not be permitted on most connection flights worldwide.





On flights from the U.K. or Belgium, the limitation of one carry-on item per person is strictly enforced.





On flights to/from Japan, view the carry-on baggage policy. Plus, view the PDF (official document) Download from Japan Civil Aviation Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (JCAB, MLIT).

Reply:No, no problem. You%26#039;re only liquid/gel is properly packaged, you%26#039;re good.
Reply:Those will be fine. Just make sure you ditch the cigarette lighter, toe nail clippers and any knives or scissors.
Reply:Yes, because they airport has been known to throw away listerine or any type of breath freshner, including tooth paste , powders. I also saw a news report where money was just wasted because people bought brand new travel items for hygiene purposes and had to throw them away once they hit security. Sad , but true.
Reply:Scratch the toothpaste, everything else is fine... with the whole liquid ban they%26#039;re iffy about stuff like that, not worth the hassle you can pick up toothpaste anywhere
Reply:You shouldn%26#039;t have any problems.





Keep your ziptop bag in an outter pocket or on the top of your items in your bag as you will need to remove it and placeit in a bin when you go through the security screening.
Reply:No you shouldn%26#039;t. You%26#039;re packing smart. As long as you have any liquids in a zip lock bag, you%26#039;re fine.
Reply:nope
Reply:You might with the deoderant.
