It's even worse than that in FL: a valid prescription for a controlled substance is not a defense against possessing said controlled substance and cannot be used as a defense at trial. The guy in question may have "won" in the end, but he lost his homes, car, business, and two+ years of his life.
"Under the law, simply possessing the quantity of pills he had constitutes trafficking."
So I guess if a TSA employee sees a C-II or C-III in FL, it's evidence of a crime even if the pills are in a prescription bottle.
