On the other hand, pills in blisters are harder to swap around.

Take a pill bottle with a fake label on it saying nitroglycerin, full of explosive warnings, skull and crossbones. Take it out of the bag and hand it very slowly and carefully to the officer for hand screening, and warn him it is a medical necessity and cannot be shaken around.
