[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1716371, member: 32394"] Ive never flown with a tubed pump, only with an omnipod. Omnipod is a patch pump so the reservoir is stuck on with the cannula, there is no disconnect option. But that's not a problem with going through the scanners because the reason pump manufacturers say not to wear you pump in the body scanners is because the radiation/X-ray etc can mess with the brain of the pump and confuse the pump settings. With omnipod the brain of the pump is the PDM, which isn't attached to you. So it's fine to wear a pod in a body scanner, even omnipod says it's fine. [/QUOTE]
