Epi-pen Jr. in an Airport (And Some Liquid Questions)

My 19 month old son has a food allergy and we must carry an epi-pen jr. around with us at all times. Is there any special consideration we have to take when traveling by plane? I can see security claiming that it is a weapon or something like that since there is a needle, but at the same time, it is a rescue medication that is required to be with my son at all times.

Question for Moms Who Must Carry Medications (Like Benadryl or Epi-pen).

So if someone could check theirs and let me know I would sooo appreciate it!
