[QUOTE="ziellos, post: 1737632, member: 16985"] I absolutely dread going through Heathrow airport security with my insulin pump. Admittedly it has been better in recent times, just depends who is working. Had to bite my tongue when some idiot said to me 'the insulin pump isn't that serious?' Gatwick and Stansted airport security staff are just as thorough, but friendly, professional and understanding when it comes to the pump. If I fly through Heathrow now (and I suspect because I complained in the past, I now ALWAYS set the alarm off!) I just briefly disconnect, before they even ask, and watch them swab it as I go through the body scanner. Manufacturers state you cannot put the pump through the body scanner so if something happened the pump insurance might not cover it. I would not risk it. [/QUOTE]
