**Traveling with Needles**
Never place used needles in the trash in hotel rooms, on airplanes, or in public restrooms, where they could injure the cleaning staff or other people. If you aren't sure that needle containers will be available where you're going, be sure to buy a small needle container that you can take with you to hold your used needles until you can throw them away the right way. You can also check The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Web site (www.tsa.gov) for up-to-date rules on what to do with your needles when you travel. To make your trip through airport security easier, make sure your medicines are labeled with the type of medicine and the manufacturer's name or a drug store label, and you may bring a letter from your doctor.
