EDIT: just found an article:

Since when does a medication have "an allowable amount" (per the article)?
"a woman in a wheelchair" Holy $! This is the best line in the whole story!
Idiodic behavior on multiple levels.
"Um, your medication isn't allowed"
"yes it is"
"Wait here while I ask someone with slightly more knowledge of SOP."
"Whatever"...oh yea, since I know your policy better than you, and I know that you aren't authorized to detain me...rolls away.
Hmm. The lady who wanted to take her medication, which I've now learned is ok to take through security has left. What should I do now?
A) inconvenience hundreds (thousands?) and lock down three terminal access points or;
B) connect the dots that, since I was going to let her go anyways, her departure means nothing, so I don't have to do anything
At top of lungs... "BRAVO"
