Denise,
I could not agree with you more. We are scheduled to fly to CA from Texas next week and since my treatment I have never flown without a couple of bottles of water and usually a few bottles of Boost in my backpack.(Back when I could not swallow well, I took a thermos of soup on every flight. People currently in that situation are just out of luck I guess.) My wife suggests that I get my RO to give me a letter explaining the situation, but since water and Boost aren't prescribed, I cannot imagine that it would make much difference to some TSA employee.
The whole thing is a big joke as far as I am concerned. About the last thing that I worry about in day to day in life is terrorists.
