As this is not necessarily an AA-specific query and relates more to ability to transit TSA checkpoints, we'll move this over to the Travel Safety/Security forum. Thanks! /JY1024, AAdvantage co-moderator

Is the plastic case or the envelope marked with who anything that indicates who did the path work.....?

In cases like yours it's important to keep time on your side and we're all hoping for a cure for you.

Made it to NY with no issues! Went through the PreCheck line and nothing came up. The slides made it ok, each one has a label with a code, patient name, hospital name, etc. We also have pathology reports from two hospitals and I assume MSKCC will also make a report.

Made it back home as MSKCC confirmed diagnosis of a rare thyroid cancer MTC and we've scheduled surgery locally. Thanks for all the help and the good wishes.
