The 3-1-1 rule is a rule for liquids through the [[TSA Line]]
"Passengers may travel with liquids, gels and aerosols as long as they’re in 3.4-ounce containers in one quart-size resealable bag"
They make bags for this specifically, but any *clear* bag that won't be blocked on the scanner should work.
If you have [[TSA Line#PreChek|PreChek]] then you can leave it in your carry-on, otherwise, it needs to be taken out and put in the gray bin.
