As I wrote upthread, screeners themselves have posted in this forum that handling medication is forbidden - and if a screener attempts to touch your medication beyond x-raying the bottle, you as a patient should forbid them from doing so and summon a manager immediately.

Seriously, are you that much of a TSA fanboy that you would consume medication that a screener has emptied into their gloved hands, breathed on and then put back in the bottle???
It really is amusing that any challenge of any native's opinion here gets one branded as a "TSA Fanboy" Couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is that many of you are wildly inaccurate in many of the assumptions and don't like being challenged on them

Back to the point:

From now on, I'm going to get a big sticky label on which will be printed a home made prescription label, and put it on the outside of my large carry-on bag. The bag, by your twisted logic, would then be impervious to the TSA? They could do no more than jab at it with ETD swabs.

Right.
