Here’s the golden rule: medication gets a free pass. Pills, liquids, even needles—if it’s for your health, it’s allowed. Just tell them what it is.
You don’t need a prescription for every ibuprofen. But for controlled substances? Keep the bottle handy and don’t be cagey. The TSA isn’t your doctor, but they play one in the security line.
And yes, ice packs for medication are allowed, even if they’re partially melted. Just be ready to explain that it’s for medical ice, not a cocktail.
