Question:
info on flying with protein powder

Just an fyi to those curious about what I ended up doing and what happened with me flying with my protein powder. I flew Delta and had no problems with anything. I put my powder in a clear quart zip lock bag, labeled it Anywhey tasteless protein powder and put it in my checked luggage (NOT carryon) I also carried my return to work excuse that was signed by my surgeon just in case. My suitcase arrived safe n sound at my destination and so did my powder. I wasn't delayed in any way. I did try to enclose the label but on the gallon containers it's glued on, not like the smaller containers where it is shrunk wrapped on. I thank everyone who gave me suggestions! God Bless!    — crystalsno (posted on June 22, 2007)

I'm very glad this worked out for you. I have never had any problems with pills, vials of medication meant for injection, syringes, or powders--I usually bring powdered milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast powder, or Miralax (laxative powder/granules). I take narcotic pain medicine too and just to avoid hassle, I make sure to bring it in the original container and/or clip off the Rx info (for boxes) and have never been stopped or questions. With the luggage inspections and the x-ray machine at security, I think they probably assume that those flying have enough intelligence not to stash cocaine or other drugs in their suitcase. I think I recall that you were going on vacation....hope you are having a lot of fun!
