Airplane carry-on allowance and plastic bags

I see some people coming to airplanes with lot of plastic bags, often containing something bought from airport shops. Don't these count towards carry-on baggage allowance? Could I bring more carry-on stuff from home by using plastic bags?

Can I bring a plastic bag on a plane as a carry-on?

3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

Can you bring more than one ziplock bag on a plane?

The TSA liquids rule is also called the 3-1-1 rule, since you're allowed to bring: 3.4-ounce container. 1 quart-sized Ziploc bag. 1 bag per passenger.

Can I check a plastic bag as luggage?

It will depend on exactly what you mean by a 'plastic bag', the airline involved, and potentially the specific check-in agent, but the general answer is NO, they will NOT accept it.

Can you take 2 plastic bags through security?

You can take one clear bag per person, so it's wise not to bring too much liquid with you, even if it's in containers of less than 100ml. If you use a lighter, you can take one on board in the same clear plastic bag. Lighters are not allowed in luggage that's to go in the hold.
