At The Airport..

Anybody been through airport security lately? Did you have your asthma meds x-rayed, or did you opt to have them checked separately? Anybody have any problems? I'm flying soon, and don't know what to expect, with the new security measures. Thanks in advance.

Re: At The Airport..

I just had them with all my drugs in a baggie (Flovent, albuterol, HRT, zyrtec). Oh, and my nail polish.
They just glanced at it and put it the tray and thru the xray machine...I've flown 4 times since the change last fall and did it that way all 4 times.

Re: At The Airport..

It depends on the screener. I actually had an insensitive twit try to take my meds away becuase the dispenser was one of the ones that oierces the pill before you inhale it - forgot which one - and becuase this was a "Sharp object" it was dangerous to others. I informed him that if he did not let me carry it on board or speak to someone who would it would be a danger to HIS health. I also explained what the meds were and he let me go. If you are concerned bring a note from your DR or Pharmacist.

Re: At The Airport..

I did the same thing, I put my liquids in one baggie (like you're supposed to) but then I put all of my meds in a separate baggie (nasal spray, albuterol, etc.) When I went through security, I just told them that one bag was liquids and one was prescriptions, they had no problems with it. Also, they recommend bringing your prescription along with you. I just brought mine in a folder cause I like to have them with me in case of emergency anyway.

Re: At The Airport..

we'll be flying soon and the travel agent told me specifically that my inhaler had to be in the original box with my name on it. SHe had a client sho had hers seized. took her 8 hours to get a new one. I figured since I don't have the box anymore I'll get a new one right before we leave, keep it in the box, and put it in the ziploc as you have to do along with the rest of my meds.
