Comment on What's the least suspicious way to get OTC meds through airport security?
dhork@lemmy.world 3 months agoAirport security, particularly in the US where many airports have international and domestic departures out of the same terminal, will not care about that. I regularly travel with OTC pills loose in a container and no documentation, and have had no issues.
Where you might encounter problems is on entering a foreign country. While they have never ever given me grief over my OTC medicines, I try to make sure two remember to buy stuff in original packaging to bring. But even then, as long as you are only bringing enough for your trip they probably won’t care. Prescription medicines should absolutely be in original containers, though.

It’s real hit or miss. I’ve had TSA search through my daughters bag of Goldfish looking for stuff in a podunk little airport while I’m rushed through in busier international airports.

Ah, the smaller airports are probably worse, because they don’t have much to do and have to justify the investment in all the fancy machines.
