Can I use a bigger container but not filled up past 3.4 oz on plane?

Anything more will have to go in a checked bag or risk being tossed out. If your liquids are stored in containers larger than 3.4 ounces, even if there's only 3.4 ounces left inside the bottle, you can't bring them through security.
