PitoTubes- 11.13.06
Pitotubes “It’s Rocket Science for your Packing”. Been testing these new packing tubes out lately, which are perfect for anyone flying, trying to deal with that under 3oz’s/only what you can fit in a 1 quart ziploc rule. Pitotubes was founded by Alisa Caviness-Driscoll, who grew up living and sailing in the Caribbean and worked as a flight attendant to feed her passion for travel. The unique aspect of these bottles is that they are airless (and leakproof!) ~ much like the ones you’ll get in some higher end cosmetic products… as you pump the contents out, the base rises up. My one issue, is that aesthetically, the images looked as if they might be glass/metal, but they are plastic - if there was a more understated model, that might be nice.
I almost feel like these might cause you more trouble than just a plain plastic bag - there’s bound to be overzealous airport security somewhere who are going to say that one of these looks like a pipe bomb or something.

I have bought alot of these and they are worth it. I think that bomb idea is just crazy.
I would give this product 8 out of 10.
The price seems a little 2 high.

Pitotubes are clear plastic and come in a variety of sizes — all under the 3.5 ounce FAA, TSA and Federal Homeland Security Airport Security Clearance rules and carry-on restriction guidelines — to give leak-free alternatives to travel size personal care items.
I’ve used these since the day they were available. I’ve never been hassled by any TSA agents. I’ve been complimented on them many time though.
