Liquids....can you bring your own bottles?

I know I can bring 3oz. or less travel bottles. I assume this means I
can bring my own (clear) bottles and fill them with whatever I want
assuming they are less than 3oz per bottle and the total fits in a
quart zip bag?

So...

Erm...

They are people who can't make a mistake...

I wonder what people will do when they start nicking laptops from
businessmen because 'they are dangerous'...

Yes, I found that to be a large omission....it kind of implied in
their original bottles, but didn't explicitly say so. Certainly, I
can dump out or re-use old trial bottles and they would never know the
difference.....

I hope this silliness ends...certainly 6 terrorists could combine
their 5 or 6 3oz bottles and blow up a plane if they really wanted
to....

Just flew this weekend within Hawaii.
TSA says the cap is now at 3.4 oz up from 3 oz
They must fit comfortably in a quart sized ziplock type bag and only
one bag per passenger.
I found a few 3oz empty containers(plastic) at the local
walmart(ugggg)
I use those too.
I use a solid type of deodorant so thats an Ok thing to Not put in the
bag.
