Re: Airport Screener Arrested...Unbelievable.

Just take your medication with you through security (IN IT'S CORRECT prescription bottle with your name on it).

Any other way of transporting controlled medication is illegal. Don't worry, if you have your medication with your carry on baggage, nothing will happen. I go on many trips for buisness and just this last week I had the full search team on me, because I was picked for this new special search, that only 1 in 100 people get. It took 35 minutes to complete and I had my medication with me. They asked if I had any IV needles in my baggage or on me (I said no).. Then I said, I do however have my medication with me, in case you were wondering about that. I said this, because I was assuming they wanted to know about needles either for diabetes (sp) patients or other substances of the illegal nature. I figured since I was getting searched high and low, I would just come out with that statement and see what they had to say. They said, they weren't concerned with my medication nor my medical need for it, so long as I had the medication in their correct container with my name on it. I said yes of course and that was that..

35 minutes later I left with my bags completely in a mess, but nothing more. Don't worry about these things guys / gals ( unless you have illegal prescriptions, ect). They want bombs and wepons, not medication.
