However the TSA are the airport security do not require liquids to be in a plastic bag when checked in, i always make sure that my product do not leak.

I use a plastic bag that is solid and put all liquid products on it., sometime wrap it with tape especially in long flights.

Powders or hair pastes, i just secured them in a soft cloth or a small blanket since they will not leak, but i don’t put them with liquids in the same bag, unless my organizer has extra compartments.

When traveling with liquids in bottles, cover the cap with tape, it is a game changer.
