By being prepared and planning plenty of time to <br />check-in and get through security; travelers through the Eugene Airport can help <br />make their trip go smoothly. <br />Again this year there is an emphasis by the Transportation Security Administration to <br />educate passengers about what can and cannot be brought through security <br />screening checkpoints. The 3-1-1 rules allow 3-ounce or smaller containers of liquid <br />or gel; one quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag holding 3-ounce or smaller <br />containers; and one bag per traveler placed in the security bin. <br />While it may sound funny, passengers should be aware that some Thanksgiving <br />dinner favorites will not be allowed through the checkpoint. Here’s a list of some <br />holiday-related items that can be shipped ahead or be placed checked bags, but <br />cannot be carried on the plane: <br /> Gravy Salad dressing Oils and vinegars <br /> Cranberry sauce Salsa Other sauces <br /> Maple syrup Creamy dips Wines, liquor, and beer <br /> Other beverages Jams and jellies Soups <br />-More- <br /> <br />
