Thoughts? Met many airport security people who insists that insulin should be put through x-ray even though the x-ray machine doesn't check anything in the insulin.
"Manufacturers indicate that, ideally, insulin should not be exposed to x-rays during travel and that it be inspected manually whenever possible; however, the security scanners used at screening will not normally damage your insulin. If baggage remains in the path of the security scanner for longer than normal or if baggage is repeatedly x-rayed, the insulin may lose potency."
Under normal conditions, insulin can safely pass through X-ray machines at airport terminals. If you have concerns about X-rays, you can request hand inspection. - See more at: http://www.diabetes.org/living-with...can-i-bring-with-me.html#sthash.bsEKJk5N.dpuf
