The TSA is not out to get you. They just want to keep planes safe. Be polite. Pull your meds out of your bag if asked. Don’t argue about your “right” to bring a 10-pound jug of cough syrup. That’s a conversation nobody wants at 5 AM.
Remember: Medication is boring to most agents. They care about bombs and knives. Your prescription is background noise. So relax. You’ll get through security. Your pills will survive the journey. And you can enjoy that tiny bag of pretzels with peace of mind.
Now go pack smart. And maybe leave the questionable hat at home.
