For that matter, how hard would it be to fake both the prescription label and a prescription-pad prescription? It's not like the TSA is calling these things in. You and I might not do it, since if some saavy LEO figured it out it would probably be a felony for us, but I seriously doubt that will stop a terrorist.
Yet one more reason the water ban is so ridiculous--they're not going to be able to stop determined terrorists. All they will do is inconvenience the rest of us.
