Does radiation harm my medication at airport security?
While going through airport security, I try to avoid having my medication x-rayed. However, I show the container to security who then takes the medication some where else. I suspect to another x-ray machine. I am from Canada (snowbird) and start my air travel in the US.

If your medication is going through an x-ray screening machine, there are no worries. Think of the liability, if your medication was altered and you got sick or even died. They wouldn't do that on a mass level, if it were dangerous.
The folowing website has questions answered by qualified personnel who are experts in radiation and it's effects. Here is a similar situation:
"QUESTION: Does radiation from a security screening device, like those used in airports, affect the items that pass through them such as baby bottles, food items, plants, electronic devices (cell phone), or drug products (like injectable nitroglycerin for a heart condition)?
ANSWER: The radiation exposure from these devices is too low to affect any items passing through (other than certain types of camera film which can darken) even from repeated exposures. Additionally, in case you were wondering, there isn't any residual radiation in exposed materials after the exposure is complete either."
