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.
Not sure I understand what you posted. Are you saying that screeners can in fact confiscate medications? What controls are in place to ensure narcotics or other abusable drugs are not converted to personal use.
