Dont take a chance.....When I go home I'm just leaving my shit at work...have more sent to the house before I get there..won't be worth the hassle or hoops you'll have to jump through at the airport getting caught with it...federal offense at the airport...won't just be a state charge....

It's tough to do. Requires one to repackage into a benign container, say an essential oils vial. Hot glue the inverted orfice so gear can't get out via stem. Be sure to leave essential oil on cap side of orfice. If anyone unscrews the cap one would smell the oil. But you would want to filter with a whatman at the end of the day as compromising sanitation will end up biting you in the long run.
So ide say it's actually pretty easy to fly with gear checked in luggage BUT.....BUT...... extremely stupid. Not at all worth the risk.
Long story short----easy but not worth it-----

I do it all the time. They're looking for narcotics and dangerous items not gear. If you carry 1-3 vials of none labeled gear in with your shampoos and stuff like that they won't look twice. Also, pills and caps can be put into supplements bottles or just in baggies next to Advil and simple pills. If they take the time to inspect every medication pill or supplements they would not get anything done.
As long as you aren't bringing a huge amount of pills and vials you're good.

I've traveled with gear and have always have them packed in my checked baggage. As stated above...TSA agents really could care less about small amounts for personal use. Never had an issue.

....and if they do find personal use they will only confiscate it and you'll be out what you paid for it.
That doesn't sound like federal law to me. I wouldn't want to test that theory, but that's just me.

I am not saying thats always the case but I've had insulin needles taken from my luggage with notification that my bag was searched and items seized.
Maybe they thought you just had the diabeetus. Maybe you just got lucky. Who knows.

My thoughts were that it was considered "contraband". If they would have thought that I did have diabetes the needles should not have been seized due to medication administration.

Your are correct....'who knows'. If I would have made more of a deal about it I would have no diabetes medical history to back me up.

That's strange. It's allowed to have needles for patients that need it.
