You can bring that hand sanitizer and individually-packaged alcohol or anti-bacterial wipes in carry-on or checked luggage.

As the number of travelers choosing to fly has plummeted over the last couple of months due to the COVID-19 pandemic,the airline industry has nearly ground to halt.
However, for those who must fly, the Transportation Safety Administration recently provided tips to remember before heading out to the airport:
1:TSA is currently allowing one liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carry-on bags until further notice.
2:Travelers are permitted to bring individually-packaged alcohol or anti-bacterial wipes in carry-on or checked luggage. Jumbo containers of hand wipes are also allowed in carry-on or checked luggage.
3:Travelers are allowed to wear masks during the security screening process, however a TSA officer may ask the traveler to adjust the mask to visually confirm their identity during the travel document checking process.
4:If your driver’s license or state-issued ID expired on or after March 1, 2020, and you are unable to renew at your state driver’s license agency, you may still use it as acceptable identification at the checkpoint. TSA will accept expired driver’s licenses or state-issued ID a year after expiration or 60 days after the duration of the emergency, whichever is longer.
5:Prior to going through the security checkpoint, take the items from your pockets and place them into your carry-on bag so that you don’t have to place them in a bin.
