What is NOT considered a prohibited item during airport security screening?

Liquid medications are not considered a prohibited item during airport security screening, provided they are declared and comply with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations. Passengers are allowed to carry liquid medications in reasonable quantities for personal use, and these items can be carried in excess of the typical liquid limit if they are clearly labeled and presented to security personnel for inspection.

In contrast, knives, concealed weapons, and mace are generally prohibited due to safety concerns. Knives can pose a threat to both crew and passengers, concealed weapons are strictly regulated to prevent violence on board, and mace is similarly restricted because it can be used as a weapon in confined spaces. Understanding these regulations is essential for flight attendants to ensure safety during flights.
