It is AA's (very wise) recommendation that you carry medications onboard with you, but there is no "rule" about it that I am aware of.
The pills were Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen, aka Vicodin.
In 12 years of travel thru DFW I have never had anything stolen from checked baggage, but I do take your (and other's) points about no valuables in checked baggage. As I mentioned earlier, I do put my pills, etc in my carry-on.
The only reason I put these pills in the checked bag was a concern that there might be some rule about carrying a large bottle of drugs with someone else's name on the bottle, and I thought there would be fewer problems if they were in checked luggage.
