Okay. I'm leaving out the airport for now.

I transited the checkpoint T-45 minutes to departure. There were only two flights departing from this checkpoint for the remainder of the night.

I was the only one at the checkpoint.

TSA Pre line closed. I had one simple backpack and a North Face Jacket.

Removed my shoes and took my Hyatt toilet bag with all liquids out, placed everything in the bins.

Walked thru, went to collect my belongings.

Disgruntled Blue Shirt #1 loudly demands that other minions do a bag check.

Disgruntled Blue Shirt #2 pills my medicine out and starts into a triad of 3-1-1 etc.

I told him that's a medical item.

Not budging.

I calmly ask for a supervisor. The Local PD (25 year-old tattoo clad officer) comes along.

Simply states, to TSA, looking at them, not me, "he doesn't have a prescription, it's not allowed."

Disgruntled Blue Shirt #1 sarcastically says "you have the option of returning to the counter downstairs to check it in"

I present myself at the podium for the next 45 minutes awaiting the TSM.

Who was absolutely useless.
