[QUOTE="Danaemac, post: 1819347, member: 42787"] I had an experience with this in lhr last yr I entered security and beeped ( of course I did ) I advised insulin pump everything was on the belt by this point except the pumps, I walked through advised I couldn’t go in the body scanner was told I could if I took the pump off I agreed but reiterated that the pump couldn’t be scanned and handed them to the security officer for swabbing while I went in the body scanner when i came out I asked for my pump and she said it would be through the machine in a minute, I flipped and the response was you told me it couldn’t be scanned you said nothing about X-ray I advised her to read the letter that she had been handed 5 mins previously whilst I packed my bag, I was on my way to a connecting flight but stopped and spoke briefly to a supervisor who advised they all know how to deal with pumps and she would go and deal with it, when I got home after contacting animas about loan and actual pump for replacement a harsh email was sent to Heathrow although I have had no response 18mths later we shall see how it goes in October [/QUOTE]
