Homeopathy at airports (US)
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 11:38 pm
IN US only can have them visually inspected - can't guarantee what other countries will do with it (usually they have no tolerance and put it through x-ray - x-ray at security is LESS strong than in your checked bag so don't put in checked bag for sure)................(i prescribe remedies in water as you know and for chronic treatment people have to take them through airports if traveling - if they have an 8 ounce bottle, could divide it into 3, 3 oz bottles and then recombine at the other end). OR...............if they actually follow the law.................
According to the TSA website, homeopathic remedies are considered medication and fall under the same regulations. Here are the details, which state you have the right to request a visual inspection rather than x-ray, and how to do that:

All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. Atropens, an auto-injection system that can help treat many emergency conditions (low heart rate, breathing problems, and excess saliva related to insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisoning) are also allowed.
We do not require that your medications be labeled.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) migraine inhalers and CO2 refills.
Medications in daily dosage containers are allowed through the checkpoint once they have been screened.
Medication and related supplies are normally X-rayed. However, as a customer service, TSA now allows you the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medication and associated supplies.
* You must request a visual inspection before the screening process begins; otherwise your medications and supplies will undergo X-ray inspection.
* If you would like to take advantage of this option, please have your medication and associated supplies separated from your other property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the Security Officer at the walk-through metal detector.
* Request the visual inspection and hand your medication pouch/bag to the Security Officer.
* In order to prevent contamination or damage to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during the visual inspection process.
* Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for X-ray screening. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area.
