Ok, this is even more appalling than some of the other outrages I've seen posted. The TSA has no right to our medical information, including what medications we are taking. Your assertion that they took down this information about you during a prior checkpoint transit, saved it, and pulled it up from (presumably from an electronic database) later is something that I would love to see explained by the TSA. If this is indeed what happened, you might want to investigate whether federal HIPAA were violated and whether you can sue.
