If you have any liquid or gel food items that are larger than 34 oz, you should try to place them in your checked bags.

Passengers are allowed to carry consumer-sized batteries (up to 2 grams of lithium per battery) in their carry-on and checked bags.

Assuming you are carrying 3-ounce bottles, you should be able to fit nine bottles into a 1-quart bag. The TSA does not officially approve or disapprove of any bags, but a Ziploc or similar bag should be sufficient.
Make sure your solid cosmetics and personal hygiene items are in their original containers. Double check that these items are solid and not liquid, gel or aerosol. Please remember these items must be solid and not liquid, gel or consol in order to be permitted.
Does airport TSA let you bring small scissors
There are a few things to keep in mind when packing sharp objects in your checked baggage. First, they must be less than 4 inches from the pivot point.

Finally, for more prohibited items, please go to the ‘What Can I Bring?’ page on the TSA website.
