The TSA web site: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/specialneeds/editorial_1059.shtm <<Non-liquid or gel medications of all kinds such as solid pills, or inhalers are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process.>>
I've saved up some of the smaller pill bottles and transferred my prescription into the smaller ones. I've peeled the label off and put it on the small ones. Not all labels peel off that well, though. The TSA has never stopped me for my prescriptions. I've been detained for the bean bag thing that the GPS sat on (there's lead inside), my AC/DC plug adapter (they have round holes where you plug in your electrical things), and for my flute! Another time, I had my band uniforms in a separate suitcase and the TSA had opened it and included a note that said they searched it. I guess they wanted to make sure it wasn't part of a rogue military group!
