[QUOTE="simonfholt, post: 2200440, member: 357819"] [LIST] [*]I’ve been told by airport security that ‘anyone could produce the letter you’ve shown me from DSN’! [*]Carrying your prescription should help. [*]I’ve never ruined my pump by hounding through scanners BUT, when they wand the pump after the scanner is there really any point going through the scanner! [*]Diabetes UK state clearly that pumps shouldn’t go through scanners. [*]The Airport Operation Association on 21/7/2016 wrote UK airports to say ‘..an information Note has been issued to all UK Airports following a number of queries...’ They later say ...’(and where medical confirmation is provided) the regulations allow for items of vanilla baggage to be screened by hand search, supported by Trace Detection’ [*]I have found that when challenged by airport security, saying “I never wanted this life threatening disease and this medication and insulin pump keep me alive” tends to help get out of a tricky situation with airport staff!!!
