If the inhaler has a prescription label with a name, it is permitted.
Permitted Exceptions: Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling; prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket; up to 8 oz. of liquid or gel low blood sugar treatment and up to 4 oz. of non-prescription liquid medications.
Well, great, I don't know that my inhaler has a prescription label on it. The pharmacy normally puts it on the box.
I'll have to call about it and make sure. Typical government garbage. Maximum inconvenience without increasing actual security.
I've hated flying since 9/11. Especially since I've been pulled aside and searched on more than one occasion, yet, I'm obviously a middle aged white guy who hardly fits the profile of a terrorist.
