Needless to say, I think it's easier to deal with TSA when you have a bottle clearly labeled with its capacity in ounces.

Sometimes I think about recycling the "sample" or "traveler" sized bottles that shampoo etc. come in at Target, but it's too much hassle. A word on "spout-tip" bottles: they sometimes leak. Be sure to test them in the store before you buy them, by gently squeezing them to see if they leak the air out or hold it in, and then still don't trust them, use a plastic baggie. Often what won't come out in a quick test, manages to seep out in an hours long high altitude flight. REI is another good source for small bottles; also http://www.backpackinglight.com.
