A declaration is not necessary, IMO. If I remember correctly, every bottle of sunscreen clearly indicates is purpose is to prevent cancer. Given that sunscreen has no other likely purpose and it is recommended by the government for medical purposes, it couldn't logically be considered anything other than a medical liquid. The trick, IMO, is justifying what amount is medically necessary to carny on.
...and when they start making these types of judgments as we have heard and read about, such as the clerk who decided how much breast milk that (ironically) a couple of husband/wife pediatricians needed for their flight, is when they cross the line of practicing medicine. It's an interesting way for some of them to reach the apex of a mediocre career.
