[QUOTE="CapnGrumpy, post: 972953, member: 195556"] I got to try out the body scanner at Heathrow T5 last week, have set off the metal detectors the last three times in a row that I've been through Gatwick and the last time I went through Dublin as well - all because I've forgotten to remove my belt/watch/dog tags with medical info/all three. In none of those instances has anyone ever then questioned the insulin pens, insulin, or pen needles in my bag. There's no need for them to be in a clear plastic bag either - I think original packaging is generally recommended. I do normally carry a copy of my last prescription though, just in case. Enjoy your holiday. [/QUOTE]
