You have to check all your luggages when you travel by airplane even it's your carry on. So I don't think there's unchecked luggage. You can bring liquids or gel in the containers less than or equal three ounce and each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. It means you can bring 6-7 three ounce containers as long as they fit in the quart size plastic bag.

OK, first of all, I have to wonder just exactly what you are trying to smuggle here.
It sounds like you want to get by with something. Your confusion is over what constitutes "Checking."
All luggage is checked in the sense that someone looks in it, or looks at an X ray image, or both. An experienced operator will know pretty much what you have in there.
Checked luggage, as far as the airlines are concerned, just means that you don't have the bag with you in the cabin. It might be on the same plane, but you cannot access it while in flight.
Carry on luggage is that which you have with you. No, you cannot have more than one quart size bag of liguid, TOTAL.
No one item out of that total can be more than 3.4 ounces, and it doesn't matter how much of it you have already used, they go by what the container says.
If you are going to try and smuggle it anyway, good luck, and hopefully it isn't something you really, really want to keep, because they will pitch it.

checked luggage is the luggage that you check in and receive a ticket for. These are items that you do not have on your possession as you fly in the plane.
There is no such thing as unchecked luggage as any luggage that isn't checked is carry-on hence the name.
You can check almost anything in your checked luggage....check out the link below....as far as the xray goes, they can see the basic shape but have the right at any time to open up your bag if they see anything suspicous (in the screener's opinion).
Have a great trip!

chekced luggage is the bags that are too big or heavy for you to take on as a carry on bag (such as a backpack or very small suitcase) so you have to get a bunch of tags put on it but the person at the check stand, they weigh it, and send it on a conveyor belt so it can get on the cargo area of the plane.
luggage that isn't checked luggage is called carry on luggage. it has to be able to fit in the overhead compartment...the compartment over the seats on the plane or completely under the seat in front of you. I believe you are only allowed to have one carry on plus like a personal item such as a purse or a laptop.
i don't think you can take any liquid with you on a plane anymore...
they can basically see what's in your bag through the x-ray...if they see something suspicious you can bet they'll search it.

checked luggage is all of you luggage that you take into an aiport and put on a plane. i dont think the liquid would pass in a plastic bag you should call the airport and ask them if you can take it on a plane, and of course it depends on what it is

baggage that the airline people put under the plane so you dont get to see it until you are at your destination. unchecked luggage is called carryon luggage and you can bring liquids that are 3oz or less. everything else you have to put through checked baggage.

unchecked is carry on, checked means it's checked in at the counter and loaded on like a coat check, you can carry 2 regular bottles of liqour in checked luggage idk how big a qaurt is. your carry on liquids are specific, you can just have one bottle of normal stuff
no razors in carry on. you can buy them at any airport or anywhere in the world cheaply.
