I never even considered worrying about my prescription pills and flying. I just chuck a mess of them in the carry-on in plastic baggies, and no one has ever said anything to me about it. I don't bring the original bottles because I only take as much as I'll need for the trip, plus a few extra (in case of delays or whathaveyous).
Very good point about needing the prescription info in case of refills. All my prescription info is online at my pharmacy so with one click I can get refills. But for a general purpose, it raises a very good point.
