Nitroglycerin allowed!
Someone in TSA isn't thinking (big shock there).
NG is a very widely prescribed drug -- used for the treatment of Angina (chest pain due to heart problems). It (along with aspirin) is indicated for first aid treatment of heart attacks.

Chemically there is no difference between the nitroglycerin used in dynamite and that used in heart medication. This is indicated by the fact that nitro pills are kept away from light (nitroglycerin is light-sensitive, like many nitrogen compounds).
