Can I put 3.4oz (100ml) of liquid in a larger bottle, when traveling in the US?

While mathematically, your logic is sound, the answer is almost always no. Basically, they’re not going to measure everything out. 3.4oz (or 100ml for simpler numbers) – what if you have 98ml or 95ml? They don’t have the time or the inclination to measure all to say ‘yes you’re under 100ml’. As a result, it’ll be on the bottle size.

Source: personal experience, when they’ve confiscated multiple almost-empty bottles from me 🙁

Also:

Liquids, gels, and aerosols must be in containers that are 3.4 ounces
(100 ml) or smaller. Note that larger, half-full containers are not
allowed.

and:

Note, the container itself must be 3 oz. or less; a 4 oz. container
that is half-full will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.
