If it is prescription medication (and last time I checked, Epi-pens are), then there shouldn't be any problems.

You will probably need a letter from the doc saying it is necessary if you are flying with the pen. Call the airline asap if you are.

If it's prescription medication, the pharmacy label should be sufficient.
I know someone who took nitroglycerin onto a plane once and had no problems because it was prescribed.

It does not hurt to have a letter from the doctor. Who knows when you're going to get the security screener who didn't have his coffee that morning, whose shoes are too tight, and who had an argument with his girlfriend the night before....

Actually, nitroglycerin causes headaches. They're a side effect of taking it.

Willow bark contains salicin. When steeped in water, the salicin leached from the bark becomes salicylic acid. The synthetic analog to this is acetylsalicylic acid, more commonly known as aspirin.

but salicin is bad for stomach, before aspirin many people was know about of analgesic effect of salicin, after Mr Bayer; from salicin was make acethilsalicilic acid, oh! remember that salicin is an acid too, only pasting the acethil group in salicin you can make aspirin, now this process is a bit complex... (Mr Cage could know it).

Really? I'd been under the impression that it was pronounced "KAGG-eh" or even "KAGG-ay", short for the japanese kagemushi.

You very well could be right, I am horrible at typing pronunciation guides. I know Uncle Kage says how to say it on his website: www.unclekage.com
"Welcome to the home page of Dr. Samuel Conway, the scientist-turned-storyteller known to many as "Uncle Kage."
(That is pronounced with two syllables and a hard "G", thank you very much!)"
so either K G or Ka G, english would actually make it KA G I suppose, but being it's not an english word....

is like a japanese word??? =3 mushi is an small cake I think??

permalinkA hard 'G' in english is the like the 'G' in 'go'. In japanese the syllable 'ge' is pronounced sort of like 'gay', which has the hard 'g'. And 'ka' is how it looks using english phrenetics. So it would be ka-gay, if it is indeed meant to be pronounced in a japanese manner.
Okay I just found this on his site:
Why "Kagemushi"? A favorite film of mine is the late Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece Kagemusha, which means "the Shadow Warrior." "Mushi" in Japanese means "bug," and hence an amusing pun can be made from "the Shadow Bug."
So it is supposed to be japanese.
I was wondering why he was Uncle Shadow!

permalinkSounds impressive, but prescribed nitroglycerin (usually for heart attacks) has no explosive capability. It's just a pill.
My mom works for a nursing home and one of her co-workers tried smashing them with a hammer. When I told her the dehydrated pills couldn't explode, she added water. XD

Mythbusters on discovery, nitroglycerin used for medical purposes does indeed have no explosive properties.

Anyway .. I don't see how they could find it a problem to have an epi-pen with you ..
Unless they fear someone gets epi-penned to death.. o.o;;

permalinkYou're saying that of an industry that has blacklisted
NAILCLIPPERS.
Kage's advice was the best. Bring all documentation you can, whenever you can. I had at least one situation where I didn't have any "acceptable" documentation for something, but I had so much "unacceptable" documentation that I think the person just made a judgement call and said "by this point, it's obvious this is legitimate."

*nodnodnods* Plus it can show that you're not trying to hide anything from them, which helps to relax some security folk.
In the past, i've found it can save some fuss if i say in advance that yes, i have a bunch of canisters in my bag full of suspicious looking stuff, but that stuff is tiny beads, not liquid, and would they like me to pull the little bag they ride in out of the big bag before it goes through?
They still search my stuff sometimes, but it helps if they have some warning.

permalinkDon't joke about that.
An injectable substance, in the wrong hands, can often be harmful to the wrong person. A LOT of medical or scientific lab materials- handled improperly- could be converted into some sort of makeshift weapon. Something as simple as an over-the-counter antihistamine, if snuck into someone, like say, sprinkled over his shredded wheat- could cause nosebleeds if he was not having a histamic (allergic) reaction. You get the idea.
Remember, the people who squawk about this stuff have strict orders to take even the most silly possible uses of materials as a weapon SERIOUSLY. One place I went to asked me to check my Paramedic scissors- which lack ANY kind of point- because they're scissors (even though they're designed to be used fast with no risk of hurting a person they're cutting NEAR.)
Again, if nail-clippers are seen as a possible dangerous instrument, these people will view ANYTHING as a possible weapon. Ever hear about the guy wearing his Congressional Medal of Honor who was viewed as if he was wearing a throwing star?
