They still don't understand av. vs fl. oz., but if you look at TSA's brochures in other languages (I checked German and Spanish), they clarify that is is a 1 qt/1 L bag, and 3 oz/100 mL individual containers. Another example of the government forcing Americans, even those who have voluntarily metricated, to use Customary measure by giving them misinformation. The government can force others to use dual measure (FPLA) but can't do it themselves, at least for the benefit of Americans.

Right now you have listed 3.4 ounce bottle. That is a bottle that weights 3.4 ounces. What you web master really means is a 3.4 *fluid *ounce *container*. 3.4 fl oz is 101 mL. The information on the TSA web site is inconsistent and misleading, it need to be improved. Michael Payne
