Check out your airline's website and the TSA.gov site for how to handle all your medications at the security checkpoints. I had all my meds in one carry-on bag, in containers with my prescription labels on them. They checked that my ID and the labels matched and (once) handed me a little sheet of paper to show to the Xray screener. I told them my Opticlick pen was an electronic insulin injector and could not be X-rayed. I handed it to the X-ray screener who passed it to a supervisor to be looked at. They didn't seem to quite understand it, but it was no hassle. They didn't want me to demonstrate it, handed it back and thanked me for being patient. I walked through the metal detector with my bag of meds, including needle tips and my meter, no beeps from the detector. I sent my Humalog pens through X-ray - no problems.

All in all it was fairly smooth. One of the screeners was a new Type 2.
