Okay, now I am confused.
Is it :

or
The policy is that prescription medications (liquid, aerosols, and gels) that you could reasonably be expected to use on a plane are allowed. There is no blanket medical exemption, this is a judgement call based on the length of the flight and the type of medical item that you for which you are requesting an exemption.

TSA's checkpoint security screening procedures for persons with disabilities and medical conditions have not changed as a result of the current threat situation. All disability-related equipment, aids, and devices continue to be allowed through security checkpoints once cleared through screening.
Additionally, we are continuing to permit prescription liquid medications and other liquids needed by persons with disabilities and medical conditions.
