What are the current restrictions for carry-on luggage, including liquids?

Nico Melendez (TSA Regional Spokesperson) gives expert video advice on: Why do I have to set aside electronic equipment like my laptop and PDA?; What is the best way to travel with camera and film equipment?; What can I do if I feel a TSA employee has treated me inappropriately? and more...

Nico Melendez: Well many of the restrictions that we have in place today have been consistent since we took over aviation screening or passenger screening in 22. The list of prohibited items is very extensive and really open to interpretation by our workforce because we can't necessarily have every item that is not allowed on our website. So knives, scissors, guns. threat items are not allowed. In 26, we changed a little bit with the liquid ban. Now passengers can bring liquids on the planes but it is a very minimal amount of liquids. If a passenger wants to bring a liquid it has to be in a three-ounce container and the three-ounce containers have to be in a one quart size ziplock baggie. So it minimizes the amount of liquids each passenger can bring onto a plane.
