@airportpatricia: An insulin pump never comes off at airport security. Ask for a pat-down instead of the scanner, and your juice and supplies all come through. #viral #travel #airline #flights #airport #ai #syntheticperformer

I wear mine right through the scanner with no issue. I've never heard of anyone having a device failure from the scanner?

I am NOT peeling off my medical devices. Insulin and pumps and sensors are too expensive!

My husband has an implanted ICD. The scanners at the airport will SHUT IT OFF. Insist on a hand pat down.

Every TSA in every US airport has different rules and requirements. It’s truly frustrating

The other day at the air port I told them I had type one and that I needed a hand check as I were monitors. The girl hand pat me then we had to go to a private room so they could “ see “ it?. I’ve never had that happen before like literally they had me in the room for 5 seconds just to pull down my pants

This should be on replay at the TSA lines everywhere! I have been argued with and told it's perfectly fine to go through! Nothing says have a happy vacation than the time the machine does actually cause a malfunction because a TSA agent claimed to know better than my manufacturer.

I’ve argued with uninformed TDA about which scanner to go thru, finally I told her she would be responsible for replacing anything the scanner broke. She understood then.

I have a spinal cord stimulator and I am only supposed to have a pat down. However, most TSA agents push for me to just go through the equipment even though I have a manufacturer card saying it isn't safe. As a professional, what do you think is the best way to handle that? I usually just say I'm not comfortable doing it, but the back and forth can be ridiculous.

We need more TSA agents just like you. I’ve traveled a lot wearing my diabetes tech- having to stand firm on protecting my tech and my health. It’s maddening. Thank you for being you and I hope someday to come through your queue, knowing I’ll be safe and without the stress.

That's like asking someone to remove their glasses. Medical devices are exempt from removal.

That’s crazy because I had a medical bag with me and it’s on the front of my bag. It says medical bag and I had juice juices like three juices because I was going on a trip for seven days so three juices wasn’t enough, but I just brought it just to have something and they were juice boxes. They weren’t even like full-size bottles or anything. They were literally juice boxes and the TSA agent told me I had to dump them because no liquids above 3 ounces or some rule that she was saying so I had to end up dumping my juice boxes mine I told her I was diabetic that’s why I had all this supplies and snacks and all these things and she made me dump it out and I was so upset
