=======================
 RH> We're flying out west next week so I checked the TSA web site
 RH> regarding the transport of insulin, needles for the pen and lancets.
 RH> Diabetic needles are OK

In theory. So are musical instruments, knitting needles, and
a lot of things that the blueshirts have had problems with.
I don't need it, and I don't need it.

 RH> TSA says ice packs that are frozen solid are fine but it they're
 RH> mushy/partly frozen, they will count as liquid. I bought a couple of
 RH> small ice packs that have a harder plastic shell.

Actually, smaller might be more difficult if you are over a
couple hours from the airport, as they may begin to thaw,
despite the harder plastic shells, which you may have to
remind them to shake if they claim they can't tell if there's
a liquid or gel inside or not.

  I think you would be
 RH> OK, once you got used to traveling with the supplies.

I'd get used to it instantaneously - it's the TSA guys I'm
worried about. The turnover rate is very high and the
training doesn't allow of much rote learning, so the people
at the scanners will tend to exercise on the side of caution
(and giving you a tough time). There are supervisors who may
be somewhat better, but the turnover there is also high.

Anyhow, I wouldn't get used to stabbing myself twice a day.
 
 ML> The guy gave up and ate a bland diet for the rest of his life.
 RH> Poor guy, I've had enough bland food in my life to appreciate onions
 RH> and garlic. Other herbs and spices could be used to add flavor.

Oh, yes, they could, but not like the lily family. I could
never figure out how anyone could get conned into joining the
Hare Krishnas, because they don't eat meat, onions, or garlic.
 
 ML> Hum. Someday I should have an excuse to go to Rochester;
 ML> problem is it's both close (in air travel terms - not
 ML> enough miles for the price) and inconvenient (no nonstop
 ML> flights from where I hang out). Sort of like Williamsport,
 ML> but I had a mission going there the last few years.
 RH> But at least Rochester has an airport.

Williamsport has an airport about 5 miles from town: it
has one gate. They were talking about expanding it to two,
but that's on hold.
