They weren't even narcotics: they were nitroglycerine tabs.
I presume you didn't have enough time to press the issue without missing your flight, because that's 100% wrong. You could have even pointed TSA to their own article and their own words specifically on nitroglycerin:
Nitroglycerin tablets and spray (used to treat episodes of angina in people who have coronary artery disease) are permitted and have never been prohibited.

Even if TSA suspected something illegal was going on their only legal course of action was to summon police. As stated that did not happen.
OP's story is short on detail but that doesn't mean things didn't happen exactly the way OP states. I'm not sure what OP's purpose was to post here unless just to rant. Would be nice to have a follow up so questions could be answered.
I read 260 pills in a 100 pill bottle... kind of hard to follow the exact details here though.
