I fly regularly with prescription medication domestically
and internationally.

Checked luggage can sometimes be lost, stolen or mishandled.
If that happens you could find yourself without meds. Best to
keep them with you in your carry-on.

As long as you are not bringing an extraordinarily large quantity
with you I doubt they will give your meds a second glance or give
you the third degree over them. You could have handy on your
phone the number for your pharmacy and Doc's office.
