  • All medications in any form or type (for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes, Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened.
  • Medications should be labeled so they are identifiable.  
  • Medications in daily dosage containers are allowed through the checkpoint once they been screened.
  • Medication and related supplies are normally x-rayed.  However, as a customer service, BCAS now allows you the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medication and associated supplies.  
    • You must request a visual inspection before the screening process begins, otherwise you medications and supplies will undergo x-ray inspection.  
    • If you would like to take advantage of this option, please have you medication and associated supplies separated from your other property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the screener at the walk-through metal detector.  
    • Request the visual inspection and hand your medication pouch/bag to the screener.  
    • In order to prevent contamination or damage to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during the visual inspection process.

 

Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be submitted for x-ray screening.  If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area.
