The other day I flew to NJ.  I forgot to put my saline solution in a
baggy, and it was more than 3 oz.  They let me through after
admonishing me.  The bad part is that they were so excited to  find me
in violation of the liquid rule that they overlooked a 4-inch folding
knife with a serrated blade that I accidentally left in my toiletry
case.  It was underneath the saline solution that they picked out and
waved in my face.
