Speaking to my parents tonight who flew to the US from the UK on Tuesday.
Apparently security at MAN had an issue with my Dad's Warfarin tablets that he takes to control his blood pressure. Mum had volunteered that she was carrying them when asked if she was carrying anything for anyone else (she had Dad's tablets in her handbag).
The security person said the pills were a danger as Warfarin was essentially rat poison and Mum and Dad could cause harm to passengers and crew - there were 15 tablets in the pack - not sure how she was going to slip them in everyone's coffee/tea.
Mum pointed out that Dad needed his tablets but would happily put them in the hold if required. However, she was fearful that cases do indeed get lost and they didn't really need the hassle of getting replacement Warfarin in the US. Dad has already had two mini strokes and needs his tablets.
All sorted once the supervisor at security got involved but FFS what a ridiculous position to take by security initially
