Prescription Drugs and Airport Security

By , About.com Guide   November 10, 2009

Follow me on:

I get a lot of questions about airport security, especially about carry-on items and the screening process. It's not always easy to figure out what to pack in checked baggage and how much to keep with you in your carry-on bag. Prescription drugs and medical supplies can present challenges, especially when they don't come in handy 3.4 ounce containers. It turns out that the TSA is more than willing to let you take these items onto the airplane. You just need to know how to pack and declare them.

Just in time for the holiday travel season, we've put together some tips for taking prescription drugs and medical supplies through airport security to help you make sense of all the TSA rules.
