Re: WE got caught! - syringes at airports

[Guest guest]

That is so weird!!! Out of the gosh, I think it must be at least 20

round trip flights that we have taken in the 3 1/2 years has

been on GH, we have never had a problem with the syringes through

security at airports. I brace myself each time. I carry her GH,

the prescriptions and the syringes and supplies in a refrigerated

lunch bag, which has a big piece of paper taped to the front that

says " 's Meds and Syringes, Must be Refrigerated. " Very

visible.

Then when we get to the security booth, I tell the person " I have

syringes in here " and hand it to them. They look in and we walk

through.

I have always wondered why they haven't spent more concern about it -

- couldn't I stab someone with a syringe. HA!!!!

I called the airlines about syringes regarding my diabetic father-in-

law it is official policy that syringes are allowed with

prescriptions. Without this clause air travel would be impossible for

diabetics and others who need injections on a regular basis.
