I've traveled a bit - mostly in this country, but we've be to Australia twice since 9/11. I usually have the more irreplaceable things (generally prescription drugs) in their containers - though I may also have some in my little plastic thing that's divided into days. I've never had a problem. I do always have them in a carry on because I have had luggage go missing. Of course, it may help that I'm solidly middle-aged. :)
