Yay security theater. Also, we have freaking xray machines, why the hell do I have to carry my toiletries and stuff around in a damned clear bag?

What about the huge body of liquid covered in skin? When will we have to start wrapping ourselves in Saran wrap?
Oh, wait…that’s what the porno-scanners are for.
Travel hack: just freeze all your toiletries and beverages solid before going through security! (only kinda joking)

Except it isn’t even that. It uses a regular clothing-style zipper, not a water tight closure like a ziplock. It’s more like a $1.50 Daiso clear vinyl make up bag marked up an extra $8.50 because it has “TSA” printed on it.
Same here. Everything stays in my toiletry kit in my carry on and I’ve not had an issue.

The problem with these solutions is that they’re pretty unique. It’s not a 1qt ziplock bag.
And not being the standard 1qt zip lock bag it’s take the TSA agent 3.4 more seconds to identify it…and probably pull it aside for greater scrutiny… “Hey is that a miniature of rum in there, has it been opened?”
I’ve been wandering the planet for the last decade with an almost identical designed transparent pouch - that was just the bag a toiletry gift set came it. I believe the entire gift set was less than the price quoted here, and it’s proven to be incredibly robust - outliving at least two of the backpacks it was regularly stuffed into.
So yeah, just keep an eye out for a presentation bag that looks like it could be re-used next time Mothers day or Xmas rolls around…
