Is hand sanitizer considered as personal medical by TSA for air travel?
I plan to bring with me a hand sanitizer on board when I travel international next time. I found all the hand sanitizer gels are 4 fl oz or above in CVS, K-Mart, etc. Is hand sanitizer gel considered by TSA as for personal medical use? Can it be exempted by the 3 oz rule? Thanks!
No, it would not be considered for medical exemption from the 3-1-1 rule. Try Wal-Mart, I have bought bottles smaller than 4 oz. from there many times and have carried them onto airplanes.
If you still can’t find smaller bottles, then have you considered antibacterial wipes? Those are not governed by the 3-1-1 rule.

No, if it is a liquid, and you do not hold a valid prescription for it, then it’s not medication. Best way round this would be to purchase a 3oz container, decant the sanitizer into it, and ensure you label it clearly, and place it in a clear plastic bag.
