If there is a question, you can either surrender the medication, or I suppose it's possible that you are detained while your particular medications are researched with an FDA official/department which may not be particularly expedient.
Practically speaking, if you just have a few pills in a couple of medication bottles, or in one of those daily dispensers, you likely will not have any issues. I suspect they focus more on those who are bringing in larger quantities of pills.
