Flight attendant shows how to easily get liquids through airport security
She’s milking this tip for all it’s worth.
Flight attendant Seymon Kates, who says she works for Delta Airlines, is sharing a hack to easily get liquids through airport security.
“If you guys like oat milk or any kind of milk or condiments, get a breast milk bag and put your liquids in there,” Kates explains in the October TikTok, which has landed nearly 10,000 views. “They do not spill.”
Liquids, gels, and aerosols are allowed in carry-on luggage if they fit into a container that’s no more than 3.4 ounces, per Transportation Security Administration rules.
A 30-count pack of 3.4-ounce breastmilk storage bags, which have a zipper seal, sells for $9.35 at Walmart.com.
“If you like to meal prep like I do, grab some breast milk bags and fill up your liquids,” Kates wrote in the caption of her video, which showed her pouring almond milk into a breastmilk pouch, sealing the bag tight, and turning it upside down.
The Post reached out to Kates for comment.
The TSA’s 3-1-1 rule — which was enacted in 2006 following a failed terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives on transatlantic flights — says a traveler’s collection of 3.4-ounce carry-on liquids must fit into a single 1-quart bag.
The requirement covers toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, body spray, mouthwash, lotions, and even snow globes.
For their part, Kates’ followers thanked her for her pointer.
“You just showed me an entire new world. Loved this,” one TikToker gushed.
“LIFE CHANGING. This will save so much room in my lunch box,” another emphasized.
“Genius!” a third exclaimed.
“Never thought of this!! Definitely will be using!” someone else vowed.
“Girl this just saved me because I could not find the silk almond milk shelf stable bottles to save my life I wanted to pack oatmeal,” a flyer shared.
