need an explanation. This may seem like a bit of a rant but, why is it I have traveled to South American countries, European countries. Yet living in the US we have the most restrictive laws, rules on carrying medical supplies. I’ve been stopped traveling from Nicaraqua to Costa Rica with a complete medical kit including syringes, scalpels, novacaine, sutcheres. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM EVEN WHEN QUESTIONED ! Yet In the USA.. Yes the USA, I have been harassed as though I am a drug addict. I do not understand if you are packing in remote areas there are necessities that one should carry. Why is it illegal in the USA to be in possesion of instruments that are necessary to provide emergency medical care. when immediate care may not be readily available.
