According to TSA policies, medically necessary liquids are not subject to the 3-1-1 liquid limitations. When asked specifically if this applied to liquids thickened at home and/or packets of SimplyThick gel, TSA confirmed that these would not be subject to the 3-1-1 rule due to the medical necessity. TSA told us that you should inform officers of the medically necessary liquid(s) you have with you before screening begins. And you are advised to remove the thickened liquid or gel from your carrying case and send them into the X-ray separately. If additional inspections are necessary, the officer(s) will provide more instructions. No documentation of your swallowing disorder and thickened liquids need is necessary. |
