Trex Vials/Needles or Injectors in Carry-On?

I have avoided air travel during this episode. Now that things have settled down, it is time to get back on the horse. Still, I plan to pack the tools in case the biatch is just taking a few weeks off.
As I will only be gone a few days my plans are to check no baggage. So... what will my TSA friends say about either Trex vials/syringes or injectors in my carry-on?
Heading to lovely Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Thx in advance,
Rock

Yea...what Jonny said.
I once went thru the security at Philadelphia International Airport with DHE needles in my backpack because I forgot they were in there. They didn't even stop me...
So much for the super mega post 9/11 security system!

Just went through security in London where they obviously spotted the inner-terrorist in me, and subsequently subjected me to a thorough search. They gave more scrutiny to my camera than my Imitrex injections. I'm sure people travel with insulin all the time.

The customs inspectors are strange dudes. Just got back from a week in Mazatlan, Mexico. while going through customs in Houston the inspector ignored my large ziplock baggie full of meds and asked my profession, I told him retired, then I had to fill out a form listing all of my previous employers. Weird. Trex inj. was a non issue.

I would bring the note just in case. THey would not let me on with a cig. lighter in boston. I am sure once they see it is medical it will be fine. I guess it all depends on where you are.
Good Luck

Roxy, aka "TRACEY the TRIGGER"......never seemed to have a prob w/the trex or syringes.
HOWEVER........when we went to the m&g in Davenport in January.....on her departure from Davenport.....they confiscated her bottle of liquor. LMFAO.....she was a bit ticked, to say the least. They poured it out!!! 
Sure was funny....but sad in a way....Woobie had bought that bottle special, just for Tracey. 
PF vibes,
Jean

My best friend just flew from Burlington, VT to Pennsylvania last week with a ticket that had her maiden name on it (and she did not have any ID in her maiden name). They let her thru Burlington and Albany NY with no problem. Scaryyyyyy.....
On the other hand---after the Lockerby, Scotland terrorist attack (way back when) my aunt and I were in the Heathrow England airport. I was a 17 year old skinny white American girl at the time and on vacation. They spotted me on one of their camera's, got security people on my a**, pulled me out of line, put my in a room and had a lady guard search me. I'd love to know what "profile" they were working off of when THAT took place! They never bothered with my bags. LOL.... frightening.

There's lotsa great CHers in Wisconsin.... maybe a bunch of us can find a way to meet up while you're around?!
