Only you can prevent your valuables, toiletries and medications from being part of a luggage graveyard or even worse, SOLD at an auction!
Face it, now and then you need to pack a checked bag. But you can control if lost items will stop a vacation in its tracks or if it will only be a minor inconvenience if your bag is lost.
Airlines suggest you keep medications and other important items with you in a carry on bag. We suggest taking it a step further and packing at least 1 extra outfit and ALL of your personal toiletries, and valuables.
Our toiletry bag will "squish" if you don't fill it up completely or you can store undergarments or jewelry in the middle section, if you don't need it for toiletry items.
The average United States family uses 500 Ziploc bags each year (Bennett). With 325,719,178 people living in the United States as of July 2017, and an average family size of 2.8 people (U.S. Census Data), that means that the United States alone uses an average of 58,164,139 Ziploc bags per year.
Nationwide since June 1 2022, TSA screened an average of 2.27 million people per day, which is a 16% increase over last year's volumes
Some airports will recycle confiscated shampoo, cosmetics and lotions but many don't have the space or time and simply throw them in the trash.
TSA does not take responsibility for you missing your flight if there are long lines at security. It is your responsibility to be prepared and allow enough time to get to your gate once you arrive at the airport.
"Regular ziplock baggies can get so nasty looking after a few uses. This is a quart bag you can be proud of and it is easy to clean."
