#1 - 'Discrimination'? Since when is confiscation of medical supplies considered, in and of itself, 'discrimination'? It was a strict application of a zero-tolerance rule against some substances that appeared (to several layers of TSA) to conflict with and over-ride any medical exemption.
#4 - What exactly does 'disability-related basis' mean? I am not disabled in the ordinary (ADA) sense of the word. How do I prove the 'disability-related basis'? Prove that I collapsed because TSA took my pills and I didn't have one when I needed it? Provide statements from my physician detailing my private medical history, a medical history that TSA already deemed irrelevant at the checkpoint?
Brother.

That was one of my observations also. Seems to me the TSA has inserted this wording so that it can easily disallow any formal complaint.
