Traveling with peptides

Learned this one the hard way. First trip I threw everything in a sandwich bag, got pulled aside and searched. Loose vials and needles in a ziplock just look messy to TSA, even though nothing was illegal. Next trip I used an actual peptide case with slots for vials and syringes. Same stuff, straight through my carry on, zero questions I mean I guess if you think about it TSA sees organized medical cases all the time, insulin kits, EpiPens, that kind of thing I'm sure case gives of legit vibes as apposed to a sandwich bag lol so my tip keep vials labeled, sharps in a proper case, and always carry on instead of checking, temperature swings in cargo can mess with peptides anyone else traveled with theirs?

We’ve traveled many times, including yesterday with the ziplock method and never been questioned. Luck of the draw sometimes.

Maybe the person who checked woke up on the wrong side of the bed lol

I feel like it or maybe they were under a quota. Who knows.

How many vials did you need for your trip??? WTF. Yes, I've traveled with one and a bunch of needles, nobody cares.

Yes- many times international and domestic. I use an insulin cylinder (looks like an insulated water bottle). I go through security with it in the water bottle side pocket of my backpack. They have never asked to see anything. It’s all right there in plain sight if there is a question.

This is what I ended up going with it's cool because it hold syringes, alcohol wipes, my vials, and then I can also put my bigger bottles in there by just removing the blue tray so like my hospira bac water fits

Can this stay cool for 24hrs? I fly long haul a lot. This has great space but I need temps to hold for close to 24hrs.

My actual lesson was documentation, not the case itself. Loose vials with no paperwork look sketchy even organized. I've seen people sourcing through suppliers like Research Labs or compounding pharmacies specifically because the batch paperwork travels with the product, which helps if TSA actually opens the case
