Can a betta fish survive an hour at airport security in little water?

Question

Hi, I am looking to fly with my fish later today. I am told her has to be in 3.4oz of water or less in order to do this. Do you think my betta fish will survive an hour in this small amount of space as I get through security? Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Female

It isn't optimal, but she should be fine for the short flight. Make sure the water isn't too cold and change it (or add conditioned water) when you get to your destination. I've had Bettas shipped to me from Thailand to New York and Pennsylvania in as little as a half cup of water and they've survived the trip.
