Can I divide a 300 ml liquid bottle into three smaller bottles?
On Domestic Flights in the US, travelers can take a few 100 ml liquid bottles? Can those bottles have the same liquid?
Best Answer
Yes. You can read the TSA's liquids rule. Bottles must each be 100 ml or smaller, but I don't know of any rule against having more than one bottle of the same substance.
All your bottles have to fit in a standard one-quart plastic bag. Three 100 ml bottles should fit in that space, but you may not have a lot of space left for other liquids.

The TSA's liquid limit for carry-ons\u2014known as the 3-1-1 rule\u2014allows travelers to pack liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes under 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) in their carry-on bags. This amounts to one quart-sized bag per person, or roughly nine 3.4-ounce containers in a single quart-sized bag.Can you bring half full bottles on plane?

Answer 2
I believe the intent of the rule has less to do with the liquids themselves and more to do with the potential threat of a large quantity of explosive materials. The assumption is that 100 ml of a liquid or low-viscosity explosive substance is not capable of causing enough damage to take down a commercial airliner. Therefore, as long as the container volume is 100 ml or less, they don't really care what you put inside them... as long as it's not an illegal substance.
