[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 1835934, member: 420515"] I went to Chester family court yesterday. They have security at the entrance, a walk through metal detector and a bag check. So, husband goes through, gets beeped, gets wand scanned, no problem. Following conversation as close as I can remember. Me: I can't go through. Usher: Why? M: I have an insulin pump. U: No problem, all insulin pumps can go through this. M: uh, no. Some pumps may, but the manufacturer of my pump says no. U: Where's your certificate then? M: Certificate? U: The one you were given to say the pump can't go through a metal scanner. More conversation followed in me temporarily detaching the pump and having her pass it around the side. Two points have since struck me 1) If all pumps go through, how did she know I should have a certificate for a pump that doesn't? 2) What certificate? I know it can't go through a metal scanner because it says so in the manual. I'm not going to carry the large and heavy manual around, do I need a certificate? And if so, where from? [/QUOTE]
