Geez, y'all are so compliant I am proud of you.

I just hid my Afrin in my pocket and went about my business without a second thought about it.

However, as previously mentioned, the new rules make such 'sinister' efforts unnecessary now....however, given the uneven way in which screeners enforce the rules, I would still just leave the bottle in my pocket and avoid the stress of a potential confrontation.

They are not searching people - only bags. If you don't want something found, and it won't set off the WTMD (and isn't bulky and obvious), just put it in your pocket.
