supersized Ziploc bags

I was at Wal-Mart looking for some storage bins and came across these giant Ziploc bags -- size XXL. What a genius invention! Ziploc SUPERSIZE with handles! They're great for storing things like linens and towels. And the best part? Once you're done using the bags, you can re-fold it for later use (like storing those winter sweaters).


As an example, in the picture above, I was able to fit seven boxes of shoes in the giant Ziploc bag.

(Yes, I am anal about organizing my shoes into plastic bins. It's just easier for me to look through the clear plastic box when I need to make a decision on which shoes to wear. Plus, I can stack the boxes on top of one another, which makes more room for new shoes. The Boy does have good ideas once in a long while.)

After I put all my things into the appropriate boxes, suicases, and Ziploc bags, I noticed that there is a possibility that my carry on luggage would fit into the Ziploc XXL bag.
I didn't attempt to squeeze my carryon into the Ziploc bag because I was tired to packing and I did not want to unpack anything, not even for this hypothetical.

But, hypothetically speaking, if my carry-on did fit into the Ziploc bag, do you think I would be able to go through airport security and say "You said you wanted me to put all my liquids in a Ziploc bag and all my liquids are in a Ziploc bag!"?

I'm thinking there will be a 99% possibility that airport security will just drag me away in handcuffs if I attempted this hypothetical.

I can't believe I just used "hypothetical" three times in the last three paragraphs. I do need a vacation.
