[QUOTE="Finnlee, post: 2604642, member: 557648"] I was told not to put the pump through the x-ray machine and I should not go through the full-body scanners. I just got back from a Eurostar trip and for the airport-style security one way, I walked through the metal detector (not the full-body scanner) which had a sign saying it was safe for insulin pumps they used a hand wand to check my pump and CGM. The other way, they waved me through (bypassing the metal detector entirely), gave me a quick pay down and did a swab test on the pump and CGM. It was very easy. I just told them I had medical devices on me and they knew exactly what they needed to do. I'm sure they see this stuff all the time. [/QUOTE]
