Bart: Prescription toothpaste with a prescription label with my name on it. I can't buy it at my destination and basically it comes down to being medication for my teeth. (my opinion, they're my teeth you know)

I called the TSA 800 number but they got really wrapped around the axle and said "that is a non-essential medication". I said "your web site says nothing about "non-essential prescriptions" and if it is a prescription medication then are your screeners equipped to make such a decision about something a doctor has prescribed?"

(I think she was confused with essential but non-prescription supplies for diabetics etc.)

Is there a way I can get the phone number of the airport TSA office to ask them directly?
