Nationwide TSA screens an average of 2.66 million people per day,
Many airports don't have the space or time to recycle confiscated toiletries.
TSA does not take responsibility for you missing your flight It is your responsibility to be prepared and allow enough time to get to your gate once you arrive at the airport.
All liquids, aerosals, gels, creams and pastes that are carried on in a cabin bag must meet the following requirements: Size 3.4 oz (100ml) or less per container and all containers must fit in a quart size clear bag. While many airports do not make you take them out of your carry on any longer they still must be contained in 1 quart size clear bag and in 3.4 oz containers or smaller. Some airports still may ask you to take them out of your bag.
Yes, if they can be wiped it is technically counted as a liquid and needs to be carried in a 3-1-1 bag if you want to carry it on.

No, they allow one clear bag per passenger. This is known as the 3-1-1 rule 3 oz, 1 bag, 1 passenger.
It depends, all airports will check for liquids and yes they do require that all liquids are carried in 100ml or smaller containers and placed in a 1 quart or 1 liter bag. A few, airports will require you to use their baggies, in which case you just need to transfer any liquids from your clear bag to theirs. We always suggest checking each airport's specific requirements that you will be traveling through to be sure, before you start packing.
