Well, I searched and found a thread that mentioned it, but no definitive answer. This, of course, refers to commercial air travel. Question’s in the title.
A relative who carries his insulin needles has been waved through several times, has been asked for a doctor’s note or a prescription once, but has never been denied boarding.
I am a pharmacist who has dealt with this question more than a couple of times. Basically, what is required is either a copy for the original RX for the syringes or a diabetic card (we have these in Texas, don’t know about other states or countries).
NPR recently (yesterday or the day before) announced a newly revised list of barred and allowed items. Items allowed were syringes. (Baseball bats, golf clubs, etc. needed to be checked.)

From: here, if you need the carry the needles with you, you need to carry the medication also. (Duh? Why carry one but not the other?)
But,
this
Just mentions needing to have the prescription, or a letter from the doctor.
So, to be certain:
a) carry both the med and the needles on you (Although why someone who may need to use them would carry them seperately, I dunno.)
b) have something certifying that you need them (Prescription, letter, etc.)
c) have the original packaging (Needles still in packaging, meds in bottle that has orignial label not a hand-printed one, etc. Most people would do this anyway.)

Ack. Well, just cut-n-paste that address from my goofed up link.
