Despite the long list of regulations for air flight, the TSA is less strict on the topic of travelers' medications. Travelers are permitted to carry only 3.4 ounces of liquid in their carry-on bag, but the TSA does not limit the amount of liquid medication you can carry onto a plane. Other medication, including pills and vitamins, are also permitted in your carry-on luggage in unlimited amounts.
When you approach the TSA checkpoint with medication or vitamins in your carry-on bag, you must place it on the conveyor belt so that it can pass through the X-ray machine. If you're opposed to your medication being X-rayed, promptly express your concern to the TSA screener.
