Officer noticed I had pills in my carryon so I had to dig them out and show prescriptions. One of the labels had fallen off (the pharmacy one as they can't cover up the drug information) so I had to dig up my CVS pharmacy app to show the prescription (not a controlled substance, it was Zolft/sertraline). And then sent us on our way. He said I needed to make sure I had the prescription label next time (sorry don't know where it fell off during the trip, it was there when started).
So not sure what C #2 means, or what impact, if any, it'll be on future trips. Unfortunately this probably caused us to miss our flight (not really sure because by the time American got our bags onto the carousel, the flight was already boarding, and we still hadn't cleared TSA and made it to the other concourse).
is this an issue only for prescription medications? What about vitamins and OTC pills like Advil? I often consolidate different vitamins into one bottle, but keep prescriptions separate.
