USA airline prohibited items list

I too have some name variations to deal with, but they didn't seem to look too closely. Are you sure you couldn't get one doctor to write you a "prescription" to cover all your meds for travel purposes? Maybe your GP?

I might be able to do that though the insurance company won't cover it since it's still considered a maintenance medication and isn't new. :/ All other maintenance meds I have to do via mail order. Very annoying.

Also, I mixed various meds into one (prescription) bottle. ... This too did not create a problem: Prescription bottle. Name matches ticket. Nobody checked whether contents matched label. Hmmmm. Maybe not so secure after all.

I typically do this too on a trip. I have so many spare medicine bottles just lying around (I re-use them to hold things like buttons, screws, etc) that when I travel I typically put a days worth of medication in the little bottles and then I know 8 bottles, 8 days of meds.

It seems kind of silly that they don't check that the medication itself matches though, but really I am not complaining.
