"Non-liquid or gel medications of all kinds such as solid pills, or inhalers are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to assist with the screening process."

that is from TSA official website:

Quick questions. I'm leaving for my flight in a couple of days and I'm planning on taking a gaming systems (PS3) with me. How should I take it with me? I've heard that if you put it in its own bag and without anything connected to it, they will just treat it like a normal laptop. Or would it be possible to put it in my carry on with little bit of clothing inside.

Today, after a long flight back from Hong Kong, immigration official said my wife's green card was reported to be lost or stolen. We never reported this, and they could clearly ID my wife as being hers. The immigration officer TOOK THE GREEN CARD!? What is the policy on this and what are our options??

TSA say one thing, but it depends which US airport you fly out of. I have had my three COPD inhalers confiscated, as they are deemed explosive, on two ocassions. You cannot bring morphine into the US, even if it's prescribed, so have to leave it at home in the UK.

I had something removed from my carry-on luggage when it went through the security check at JFK yesterday. It was in my bag when i put it through the scanner and not in my bag when I boarded the plane.

I would be grateful for information on a complaint process.

I will arrive on DL at JFK and have a long layover for a VS flight. I would like to use my UA Red Carpet Club in Terminal 7. How can I accomplish this hopefully without leaving security? Thanks.

I'm leaving from JFK to London in 2 days for business travel. I just realized my passport is still in my maiden name. Will I still be able to travel if I bring my marriage certificate?

I would like to take a golfclub (1 rescue) as hand baggage on an international flight in order to avoid a larger piece of baggage to store it. Are there from a security point of view any problems? (as the club with 43.5" is not much lager than a large umbrella)
Thanks
