The government's ban on liquids and gels in airliner passenger cabins is confusing travelers. Further complicating matters is a carry-on ban on some trans-Atlantic flights. The restrictions are part of tighter airline security ordered by U.S. and British governments in the wake of a foiled terror plot involving liquid explosives. The new policies aren't always clear or consistent.
So here are the things that you CAN bring on the plane if you are flying domestically within the US only:~Baby formula or breast milk when traveling with an infant.
~Prescription medication, provided the prescription matches the passenger's name
~Certain essential non-prescription medication, such as insulin.
Laptops, iPods, cell phones and other electronic devices are still allowed onboard but soon may not be.
If you are your way to the United Kingdom:
You will NOT be allowed any carry on items. You will be asked to place wallets, cash, passports and credit cards in a clear plastic bag and that is the only thing you will be allowed on the plane. Make sure to check all liquids, electronic devices and anything else or you will be forced to throw it away. British Airways, the largest carrier between the US and the UK has become VERY strict on their policies. If you have any questions on what is allowed or not allowed, check out British Airways website.
For more information check out the TSA's website or your airline's website. If you purchase something beyond security you will be asked to throw away that object before boarding the aircraft at the gate.
