No big deal unless the drug sniffers sit down. Might get more action if you have a pound of pills.
On a marginally related note, as a truck driver I was routinely inspected (weekly). Every few years or so they would ask to see any medicine I had (including required spare eyeglasses). I would produce my Rx statin and OTC baby aspirin bottles and the officers would barely glance at them from several feet away while they remained in my hand. But I have been frisked as part of an inspection, my pockets emptied and turned inside out. I am quite certain any loose pills, including in a zip bag, would result in me being taken into custody.

Who is going to know if you are taking advil or a RX pill? I carry my RX pain pills in little vials on my purses all the time. Who knows? TSA etc are too busy to care or watch. On a trip I carry my RX pills in the ubiquitous plastic zip bag in original bottles but know one knows if I have any in my pocket or not.
