Thank you for contacting TSA with your inquiry about medical nitroglycerin. TSA does allow passengers to bring medications through the security checkpoint in unlimited amounts, as long as they are screened. For more information, please visit this link:

Additionally, if a passenger encounters a situation where they are not allowed to bring medication through the security checkpoint, they should ask to speak to a Supervisory officer or a Transportation Security Manager while at the checkpoint. Lastly, if a passenger’s medication is not allowed through the security checkpoint, the passenger can make a complaint to the TSA Contact Center:
Email:
[email protected]
The complaint, if complete, will be investigated by TSA’s Disability Branch and the applicable airport. In order for a complaint to be complete, federal regulations require that it include the following information:
1. A signed, written explanation of the facts that led you to believe discrimination occurred with enough detail for the Disability Branch to understand what occurred;
2. Your first and last name;
3. Your mailing address, e-mail address (if available) and telephone number, if you are the one that the discrimination allegedly occurred to, or the third party legally allowed to file a complaint on behalf of the complainant;
4. A disability related basis for the complaint;
5. The location (e.g., airport), date and time of the alleged discriminatory action by TSA.
We hope this information is helpful.
