I am still not sure why they would have even blinked an eye at the meds, unless there was some other indicator of tampering, or some other questions about what was actually in the bottle.

All that above being said, we still have nothing but a random post about how something happened, with no substantiation, so we are exercising in conjecture for most of the discussion.
(boldlng mine)

I am unaware of anything on the TSA website that says that if meds are being confiscated, the pax is not allowed the option of completing a rigorous screening and an escorted exit back landside to dispose of the meds.
