I don't know about private since I've only flown commerical.

But I have flown with prescription meds and since I've had the scrip, I've never had a problem :)

So true. Lower taxes AND year round sun. I'd move there myself if it wasn't so darn humid and slammed by hurricanes. Rush has some fine homes down there. Those Dems are so envious of him. He is living the good life.

Have you ever taken that Water Taxi ride in Ft. Lauderdale? What do you see but LOTS of BIG boats and BIG houses. Reason, Florida has no personal property tax! AND no personal income tax.

screw 'em all and build a studio back in Cape.

That is the best idea yet. He could help the local economy and have privacy, too. However, Southeast Missouri, where Cape Girardeau is located, is swarming with government dependent democRATS.

They're there to screen. Meds get screened. Fly with your scrip, and you won't have a problem :)

Rush needs to be a little more circumspect. Millions listen to him, he is looked up to. If you are on probation for drug possession, you need to be above reproach in your behavior.

[longfellow]

it was for his ditto head.

I would like to know how many other people got stopped because they were in possession of Viagra. I would also like to know how many other people had the fact that they were stopped for Viagra given to the news media.

To me, it seems like Mr. Limbaugh has been singled out for "special treatment."

[prairiebreeze]

Do you think even for a nanosecond that if it were anything of a controlled substance nature the media wouldn't be all over that like a fly on $hit?

There's been no evidence that Rush is looking for "fixes". He's a free man, can travel wherever he wants. Although he might justifiably argue with my use of the word "free".

[prairiebreeze]

Do you even bother to read the article?

"He was not arrested," Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Pete Palenzuela said.

[mewzilla]

How does your average screener know what's legit and not? What's a real medication and what's not? The quickest and most efficient way is to have folks bring their scrips. Not perfect, but it leaves screeners more time to look at folks who are travelling with drugs and no paperwork. And those folks ought to be looked at.

If you don't want the hassle, don't forget your scrip :)

[csvset]

Was she available for comment?

[Brilliant]

But why did they disclose this info to the media?

[mewzilla]

But why did they disclose this info to the media?

Because they're bleepheads.

But that doesn't give Limbaugh a free pass.

[SampleMan]

Move out of Florida, Rush. NYC would be glad to have you back. Failing that, screw 'em all and build a studio back in Cape.

South Florida IS NYC.

[Paige]

Talk about harassment! I would use my lawyers and money to make the Liberals weep. Enough is enough.

[Brilliant]

A free pass for what? Carrying Viagra?

[mewzilla]

Unless the reports I've heard are incorrect, always a possibility, he was flying with the Viagra in a unmarked container without the scrip on him. That's the no-no.

[mewzilla]

Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, issued a statement through a spokesman saying that agents found a "non-narcotic prescription drug, which had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes."

And that may be legal, but I wouldn't try to get it past a screener.

"He was not arrested," Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Pete Palenzuela said.

Thank goodness. Getting arrested with a double dose of Viagra can lead to hard time in the joint.

Haven't we all been expecting something like this to happen since we learned of the 18 month supervision terms?

How many of us didn't know exactly what it was when we heard "Palm Beach International Airport"?

Now why do we suppose these vermin released the name of the medication, and it was reported? Guess our "need to know" far outweighed Rush's privacy.(/s)

There they go again exposing more about themselves than they do about their target. Nevermind, it'll backfire on them and boost Rush's ratings. lol.
