[QUOTE="tigger, post: 1113399, member: 11023"] I've flown a few times and gone on eurostar. I was told on receiving the pump that it must not go through the full body scanner or the xray tray but the walk through is fine. I have a letter from the dsn saying this. It also says repeated handheld scanningcan cause malfunctions. For the first trip i informed security they told me to hold it out i beeped and they patted me down. For the next trip i didn't say anything and it didn't beep (different airport ) eurostar it beeped. Returning from france i declared it and they treat it like a pace maker so you walk round the scanner and they pat you down. I haven't had a problem yet but would be prepared to refuse if they insisted. This is a vital and sensitive medical device. If it malfunctions it could stop delivering or deliver the entire reservoir which could kill me. It's not for a security guard to dispute manufacturer's warnings. Get a letter and good luck for the next time. [/QUOTE]
