Many common, everyday items at home or work may seem harmless; however, when transported by air, they may be very dangerous. In flight, variations in temperature and pressure can cause leakage in items, generating toxic fumes or even catching fire.
Many of the items mentioned above are classified as "dangerous goods" by the Government of the United States and are not allowed in the luggage. Unauthorized transportation of dangerous goods may lead to criminal or civil penalties.

Placing these item in the small bag separate from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pac item larger than 100 milliliters in checked baggage. The actual maximum volume you carry will equate to less than 100ml.
