I'm taking a long flight in a couple weeks and I'm having trouble finding exactly what you are and are not allowed to bring on a plane. Things like knives and scisors are obvious, but they changed some things recently about liquids and gels.

Can I bring on something like deodorant (the stick kind) or toothpaste? Or if I can't bring them on, do they have those things (like little packets of toothpaste or deodorant) on the plane? I've looked on the sites, but didn't find much specifying the different things. Is there anyone here who has recently flown on a plane who would know about this?

Any help would be great! I just don't want to pack something only to have to throw it away when I get to the airport. (I'll be in airports and on planes for almost 24 hours straight) (link)
Go to the website of the specific airline you are taking, depending where you are going to/from the rules may be different, some say nothing at all and others are letting very small amounts (like chapstick). If i were you I would check all that stuff in checked baggage. I don't think they'll have any on the plane either but unfortunantly you'll just have to deal.

thanks for replying, but it's more the airport security than the actual airline that I'm worried about.
