Flying and need to clear bag inhaler

I have recently been on holiday abroad. I thought I had all my medication organised. I have all my meds in a clear plastic wash bag I always put in separate clear plastic bags liquid. Which has always been okay. But this time I had to put all my inhalers in clear plastic bags too including those I use in a separate little handbag.this was a pain, they change the rules every time.

Anyway for those traveling by plane pre pack your inhalers in clear plastic bags before you go.

Yes, they started that two years ago. I was on quite high levels then and was away for three weeks so I had something like 6-7 inhalers to cover the whole period. Suddenly, standing there in front of the security guard I had to get them all into bags. As it had just changed he realised I could not have known, and he helped me. It filled two bags, and briefly one went to the wrong place. I #ort of panicked. But all was well in the end.
