OK, has anyone been on a flight and travelled with Enbrel since the new
carry-on restrictions have been imposed?
If so, did you travel with an ice-pack?  Was it allowed?
How about if you inject with metho?  Any problems there?
I've got a lot of travelling coming up, and I'm getting nervous about
being able to bring my meds with me.

The airline you're flying on would have the latest, up-to-date
information.  What someone here tells you could change
tomorrow.

That is the answer to a different question.

a couple of links to TSA pages about current regulations.

Unfortunately, they don't specifically mention gel ice to keep medications
cool and I heard on NPR this evening that gel ice is prohibited.  I'm flying
down to visit my mom next month so I really care as well, therefore I just
emailed the TSA through their Contact Us link to find out.  I'll post the
answer I get here.

KY jelly permitted?

Gel-filled bras permitted?

... Gotta go now and let my imagination unboggle.

What's wrong with that?  Isn't that what was
recommended to slide past the Y2K fiasco?
