When your carry on goes through the scanner, they see what you have in
it. So they can then ask to check the prescription labels. This didn't
happen to DH on his recent travels, but it could happen.

Anyone who uses one of these now while they are traveling, are looking
to have their meds thrown in the trash. I have never bothered using them.

I would not put any prescription meds or hard to get supplements in my
checked bag when I am headed out on a trip. If the bag is lost, I
don't need the hassle of trying to replace them. Also if I take a
container for one prescription and put in 7 pills or 20 pills what is
the difference. Again if I have to pack some in my carry on and some
in my checked bags, then I need two sets of appropriate containers.

I have done that in the past, but with our prescription plan and all
the meds we take, that would be very costly.
