TSA Guidelines: What You Can and Cannot Bring on a Plane - Oakland

Understanding Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines is essential for a smooth travel experience. For carry-on bags, liquids must be in containers of 3.4 ounces or less and placed in a quart-sized bag. Sharp objects, large tools, and sporting equipment are prohibited. Firearms and ammunition are only allowed in checked baggage following specific rules. Medications, baby formula, and breast milk are exempt from liquid restrictions but must be declared at security. Electronics, food, and personal care items are generally allowed. Always check for the latest updates on the TSA website to ensure compliance and avoid delays at security checkpoints.
