Browsing through my email today, I saw an urgent communique about the new regulations regarding the substances allowed in carry-on items. Little did I know that I would soon be so impressed with the compassion and forethought of the TSA:
Travelers with Disabilities and Medical Conditions:
Important Information Concerning New Security ProceduresDue to enhanced security measures liquids, gels, lotions and other items of similar consistency will not be permitted in carry-on baggage. These types of items must be packed in your checked baggage.
To ensure the health and welfare of our air travelers with disabilities and medical conditions the following items are permitted.
Liquid prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket
Up to 5 oz. (148ml) of liquid or gel low blood sugar treatment

Yes, that's right, the TSA supports your right to carry onto the plane that essential item for every initiation into the Mile-High Club-- KY Jelly.
Nice.
