[QUOTE="Bluey1, post: 1836947, member: 36344"] I can't speak for all brands, but the Medtronic 640g goes through the metal detectors no worries in Australian domestic airports. A few weeks ago a security guard saw something in my pocket and tried to stop me walking through the metal detector. I told him it wasn't a problem and walked straight through before he could stop me. As it didn't set anything off he couldn't do anything. They do have special certificates and the x-rays are taught not to pick certain signatures. As part of my sporting gear I have taken a small explosive device (a detonator) connected to electronics and a battery without a problem as checked luggage in a locked suitcase and I know the suitcase hasn't been opened as I use my own padlocks. There is no reason if pumps do get the clearance to go through scanners from manufacturers that the scanning companies can't do the same thing for the pumps. [/QUOTE]
